Background

The EP was re-EQ'd by M. Gira and S. McAllister, remastered, and appended to the 1990 reissue of the follow-up album Filth LP on Gira's own Young God label. On the reissue CD the tracks are in a different order; the tracks on each side of the EP are reversed. The 1990 Filth CD on which the EP was reissued is long out of print. Although Filth was reissued again by Young God in 1999 and 2014, Swans did not appear on any subsequent Young God Records reissue until Spring 2015, as a Record Store Day Exclusive Release.

The 2015 12" reissue and versions appearing on the Filth Deluxe Edition 3-CD set are the original 1982 mixes faithfully restored.

Personnel
gollark: I read somewhere that the really low price is more of a marketing gimmick, hence why lots of places have a quantity limit, and the price of the version with headers reflects the actual price more accurately.
gollark: It *can work* as one, sure. Although so can ESP32 microcontroller things, which might be cheaper.
gollark: My tab count has been beaten? Troubling.
gollark: I can even get away with 700 open tabs with some fraction of my 8GB of RAM. Obviously not all of them are actively loaded and running.
gollark: Why are you showing screenshots of an image open in something instead of just uploading said image?
