Notes

This is the first pressing of Bad Moon Rising, made in UK and simultaneously released by Blast First in the UK and Homestead in the US. Subsequent US copies lose the custom labels, the Porky mastering, and the Blast First mention on the sleeve. Subsequent UK pressings change from Rough Trade to Mute on the back cover, but retain the Porky mastering (with HMS 016 crossed out).

Recorded/Mixed/Remixed: Before Christ, NYC, Sept-Oct 1984.

A Savage Conquest/Rough Trade Music.
Thanx to: Catherine Bachmann/Nicole Ceresole/Tom Dejesu - NYC/Althea & C. Wayne Gordon.
