Notes US First Reissue from early to mid 1980's. Unlike original this release does have matrix run-off groove numbers. Labels appear identical to the original release, however the centre "punch-out' section for wide spindles (jukebox etc) is noticeably missing and the labels look like a copy of the original italian ones. Vinyl is very thick heavy-weight; 200g minimum. Die-cut plain heavy white paper inner sleeve (US standard at the time). Thick card (2mm edges) outer sleeve in plain white (not pre-printed like the original). 12 x 12 inch album inserts are present on this release that are on some copies glued to the front and back outer card sleeve faces. Also for some copies pulling back rear outer sleeve insert may reveal "FOR PROMOTION ONLY Ownership Reserved By CBS Sale Is Unlawful" ringed gold promo stamp on rear sleeve at top left. Some other outer sleeves are plain white.
The photo on the Side A label is an excerpt of the image on the front cover sleeve. Track B5 is misspelt "Welcome to the atrocity exibition" on the back sleeve. Track B6 "Hang 'Em High" is new to this release and is not present on the original release. It is an unlisted track that is a variant of the soundtrack from the 1968 Clint Eastwood movie of the same name, and has been added to the final pressing cut as a bootlegger's joke. The "covered" use of CBS "promo" stamped sleeves on some copies indicates the true origins of manufacture, widely believed to have been a hobby project by US persons unknown with industry access to the materials and hardware required to create the release.
