Notes

Originally released on LP in 1987.

Limited edition of 1000 stamp-numbered copies.
An unlimited edition with slightly different artwork followed in 1990.

Tracks 3, 4 and 15 recorded live at Bar Maldoror.

- The booklet incorrectly states that "Hellraiser" is track 18 and "The First Five Minutes After Violent Death" is track 16.
- Also, the tracks are improperly indexed as "The Wheal" starts 2:43 into track 16 and ends 58 seconds into track 17, where "The First Five Minutes After Violent Death" starts.
- Label is written Threshould (with a "u") House on spines.
- First catalog number appears on spines and on CD, second one on the back of the booklet.
