Release information:

February 1994, Lowell Records (LOW-005), LP. Lowell Records was basically a division of the infamous noise/avante-garde industrial label, RRRecords based out of Lowell, Mass. He started Lowell Records to focus on local bands such as us, Worse Than Useless, Andrew-Szava Kovats (of Data-Bank-A fame), The Johnny Bravos, etc. This is the original mix and the cover art was of photocopy quality, not screened like the reissue. An accompanying handmade lyric booklet was available as a send away.
November 1997, Acme Records (ACME 1), CD. Drummer John Evicci starts his own label by reissuing the first album on CD, along with completely remixing and mastering the recording. The artwork is also given a little more care.
June 2000, Kangaroo Records (KR-029), LP. Kangaroo Records, after a sketchy conversation in a loud, booze-filled gig in Holland, rush-releases this repress on vinyl without official approval of the band. It was a simple misunderstanding with no hard feelings. All artwork and audio taken directly from the Acme CD.

FYI: There were two outtakes from this recording session: I'm Sick (And You're Sickening) and Blood Drippin' Scene. They were very rocknroll sounding and the 3 of us determined that they didn't fit the vision of the band. This caused some friction with Kevin who felt very strongly that they should've been on the album. This is was the beginning of our ongoing focus of keeping the band from going "off track" (no pun intended).
