1000 copies on yellow vinyl. 3000 copies on black vinyl. Both colour versions were sold in sealed metalised plastic pouches. The purchaser had to open the pouch to find out which colour vinyl they had.
Run-out etchings:
A - "In loving memory 'Preston' 1983-'95"
B - "It's a boy - lets call him Preston"
The rear of the sleeve/pouch features the catalogue number for the CD version in error: DS45CD-11. Run-outs and centre labels show DS33-11.
The title of the first side, "Simple Headphone Mind", is taken from Alcatraz, who included a song of that name on their first LP "Vampire State Building" from 1971.

Reviews & Discussion
I cannot find enough praise for this release with it's perfect combination of spacious backdrop and experimental noises. Two masters meet for their best. The A-side is a special favourite with a definite reminiscence to the equally hypnotic proto-psych-beat monster "Klingklang", being the (entire) A-side of Kraftwerk 2 LP.
