Album notes

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

Although originally released in several formats and in both the US and UK in the early 1990's, these recordings remained hard to find in their original form for a long time, due to the lack of timely reissues - they appeared only as part of the basis for the Various Failures 1988-1992 compilation at the end of the decade.
The entire album was however re-issued in 2015 both as part of the White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity / Love Of Life compilation and as a stand alone vinyl release. These versions contain the extra track "Blind" recorded during the same sessions, but omitted from the original release.
