Album notes

The original 10" mini-album released in Japan, with music interspersed by Snakeman Show comedy sketches. This is usually titled "増殖" (Zōshoku, lit. "multiplication") and "X∞Multiplies". This has been re-issued on CD many times for Japanese domestic and export markets.
This master release also includes the UK/Dutch LP which features the same mixes of most tracks as the mini-LP, and has a very similar gatefold sleeve. This version essentially has a truncated version of the mini-LP on Side 2, with a selection of other tracks on Side 1. It has more similarities overall to this master release than the US compilation version.
Before adding a new entry here, please check your copy against the other master release "X∞Multiplies": X∞Multiplies. The compilation releases all include the tracks "Rydeen" and "Day Tripper". The versions here do not.
