Release Notes
In the lower right hand corner of the front cover of the 2021 release is a notation reading 'V.2C' and the album cover is yellow. For purposes of higher audio fidelity, Humor Me and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo were omitted from the vinyl but they are available as audio downloads - a card with the necessary code is included in the album package.See The Bootleg Sound for David Thomas' enthusiasm for cassette tape sound.
This album is a favorite among many longtime fans for many of whom it was the first taste of Ubu. On the other hand, one purchaser complained, "This is the worst record ever released."
The original Rough Trade release suffered sonically because the album sides were too lengthy. Consequently, two songs were dropped from the Fire reissue, which is pressed on yellow vinyl with yellow cover art. The two songs omitted, Humor Me and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, are available as free audio downloads - a code is provided on a postcard in the album package.
