Notes

Tracks 1 to 7 recorded in 1988.
Tracks 8 to 11 recorded in 1989.
Track 12 recorded in 1985.

Tracks 1 to 6 were originally released on LP in 1988 by United Dairies (SUR LP 4).
Track 7 is an alternate version of Track 1.
Tracks 9 to 10 were originally released on a Shock 7" (Shock SX 012). Along with track 8, these 4 songs, recorded in Tokyo, were to have been on a Japanese Current 93 album; the album was never finished.
Track 12 was recorded in 1985 as part of the material towards the "Killy Kill Killy" piece that was released on the "Nightmare Culture" mini-LP.
Tracks 7, 8 and 12 are previously unreleased.

Earth Covers Earth was originally dedicated to You-Sun; so it is still. I again thank Tony Wakeford for allowing me to adapt his song "Fields" into "Earth Covers Earth".

Included is a 16-page booklet with lyrics and photographs.
