Notes

Includes a 'download' card and insert with photos & liner notes.
No where on this release does it show any track time durations.

Although this other Guerssen release shares the same catalog number, as well as identical matrices,
the label variations are different.
Labels (and back cover) on this release show different track positioning & titles.
Most notably are tracks A1 & B1. Not only are they on opposite sides of the record,
but they're also in different track positions (see images).
Also, track A1 (I Need You), has been relabeled as "Baby I Need You" on this here release.

From label to record, all tracks are correct. This is not a misprint, nor is it a mispress.
A1 through B3 titles match record & labels.
Hype sticker variation as well: The line "Seven original songs plus a spaced out Pink Floyd cover." has been removed.

On backcover & on labels:
Originally recorded in 1973 as a demo acetate, unissued.
License courtesy of Heavy Rain and Headbangers Records / Big Bad Wolf Records.

On sticker:
Heavy Rain.

On insert:
Note: Due to the lack of master tapes, audio has been sourced from the only surviving acetate copy, which was not in perfect shape.
All efforts have been done to restore the sound without killing the music. Some light surface noise / distortion may be audible in some parts.

Thanks to Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby), Wayne Hargreaves, Bernie Worsley, Marco van Empel, Tamme Oosterhof.

Special thanks to Egbert Berenst for invaluable help on this project.

This album is dedicated to Geoff Carter (1948-2021).
