Notes

Tracks 1-6 originally released on LP in 1988 by United Dairies (UD 029) and 1989 by Supernatural Organisation (SUR LP 4).
Track 7 is an alternate version of Track 1.
Tracks 9-10 were originally released on a Shock 7" (Shock SX 003) and reissued with the adition of track 11 on the sampler "The Portable Altamont" (Shock SX 012). Along with track 8, these 4 songs, recorded in Tokyo, were to have been on a Japanese Current 93 album; the album was never finished.
Track 12 was recorded in 1985 as part of the "Killy Kill Killy" piece that was released on the "Nightmare Culture" mini-LP.

Earth Covers Earth was originally dedicated to You-Sun; so it is still. I again thank Tony Wakeford for allowing me to adapt his song "Fields" into "Earth Covers Earth".

Included is a 16-page booklet with lyrics and photographs.
