Notes

Packaged in a 12" film can-style metal box. Sides are labelled Metal 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 on the info sheet and Metal 1-A, Metal 1-B, Metal 1-C, Metal 1-D, Metal 1-E and Metal 1-F on the record labels.

Includes an A5 size sheet with tracklist and line-up.

Side B ends with a locked groove which repeats the last few seconds of "Swan Lake" endlessly until the needle is lifted from the record.

Jeannette Lee is credited as being a member of PIL for this record, though it is known that she did not perform any musical function in the band, but rather admin/PR and occasional video recording. The similarly credited Dave Crowe performed an accounting type role within the PIL 'company'.
