Notes
editAll artwork by Steven R. Gilmore.
Some pressings incorrectly list "One Time One Place" as "God's Gift Maggot". All copies of the CD version incorrectly list "Draining Faces" as "Brap".
Also available on DVD and VHS. The DVDs have been plagued with issues; the first pressings omitted the introduction clip that was on the VHS release. Some later pressings have serious issues with balance and bass.
Some CD pressings present the recording as a single track.
Recorded by Ric Arboit, mixed by Dave Ogilvie.
