Session:[07/26/2001 West West Side Music]
Notes: This album was originally scheduled for an October 30, 2001 release but was cancelled due to Jerry Only's disappointment with the mix and Glenn Danzig's disappointment with the artwork.
About 2000 promotional CD copies were pressed and distributed. 40,000 regular CD copies were pressed, but later destroyed. Several record sleeves were printed and distributed (without vinyl) to members of the band. The original plan was to press 2000 copies of orange vinyl and
1000 copies of white vinyl. The album was "postponed" on October 15, 2001.
Very carefully produced bootleg which almost exactly imitates the original. Details of verifying the bootleg can be found here: http://questionable12hits.page.tl/Bootleg-versions.htm
