Explanatory Notes

 

The LP was a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
Some early pressings of the CD incorrectly had track 6 after track 9.
The album was originally planned for release in April 2003 under the title Country On The Click. After the original mix leaked on the internet, it was partially re-recorded, remixed and retitled. The CD spines and inside cover still show the original title & the CD label uses the word “album” rather than “LP”.
The promo CD carried the warning: “For promotional use only – anyone abusing this will have Mark E Smith to contend with and may God have mercy on your soul!!!”.
