Notes

Wendy O'Williams is also credited on the sleeve as playing the chainsaw and machine gun!
During the instrumental portion of 'Dream Lover' the musicians were isolated from one another so that they could not see or hear what each other were playing.
Plasmatics concept and management Rod Swenson
