Notes

Recorded at Nadir Studios, London, England, 1981

-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.
