Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Recorded at Orange County Studios in 1981. These 6 songs were the first recordings Christian Death recorded in a studio before the band signed to Frontier Records for Only Theatre Of Pain (US 1982) (opens in a new tab). They were asked to provide some songs for the Hell Comes To Your House (US 1981) (opens in a new tab) punk compilation album (Bemisbrain Records, 1981), however only "Dogs" ended up being used.
The cover is a reproduction of the painting "Who shall deliver me" by Fernand Khnopff. Reverse has text in French by Jean Lorrain and a picture depicting a child sat upo
