-The Litanies of Satan (from the poem by Charles Baudelaire)
Devotes itself to the emeraldine perversity
of the life struggle in Hell.
-Wild Woman with Steak-Knives
(from the tragedy-grotesque by D. Galas "Eyes Without Blood")
Is a cold examination of unrepentant monomania,
the devoration instinct, for which the naive notion
of filial mercy will only cock a vestigial grin.
Some issues contain scented record sleeve.
The vinyl in some issues are oppositely labeled.
