Notes

Original pressing by Industrial Records had cream centre labels with very blurred Death Factory Logo and picture sleeve. After approximately 20,000 sales re-pressing was taken over by Rough Trade and the single was re-cut with messages scratched in the centre 'Salon Kitty' on the ZBZ side and '437 666 OTO' 'RE-CUT 4 NOV 79' and '20,000 DOWN' scratched in the United side. Thee centre section of ZBZ with Cosey's guitar was cut extra loud also as an improvement upon thee original version. This version still had the cream/white labels with blurred Death Factory logo. Some were sold without picture sleeves, though not many.

Also available in clear vinyl and white vinyl pressing with black labels. Probably among the first 20,000 since this hasn't got the matrix messages mentioned above.

Obviously the best TG-single on Industrial. Both songs are equally good. It ain't a wonder, that this was TG's best selling single (around 20,000 items sold).
