Notes

Licensed from Missing Link according to the back cover (dubious). Back cover also uses the defunct GeeBeeDee address from 25 years ago (also dubious).
The lacquer was cut from the CD (at best) and had digital compression applied to the max (loss of most/all of the musical dynamics).
Cover printed on lowest quality recycled card stock.
Zero information in the runout section.
