Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Fatboy jewel case in O-card
On O-card, it is the image with the skull and the red coloured words "SHRED", "DEAD" and "DICK DALE" are so dark you almost cannot see them. The image with the bright red words is from the front cover in the fatboy jewel case.
Matrix of variant 2 has last 4 digits stamped (M1S1) and it would be reasonable to assume variant 1's last 4 digits are also stamped (M1S7)
