Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Never officially released or distributed, this was given away to associates of the band. Recorded at Electric Melody Studios, Glendale, California.
According to member Tommy Lee Wallace: the album was paid for by Carpenter's then-wife actress Adrienne Barbeau, and 150 copies were pressed - split evenly between the three band members. The album is essentially a John Carpenter solo project, though he brought in his long-time friends and used their band name 'to give himself some cover'.
