Additional Information

Comments Gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves (round corners).

Some copies came with a sticker with European cat# 302 419-977 on upper right corner of back cover (UK version imported to mainland Europe?)

From sleeve notes: IQ number one becomes no.four in Zang Tuum Tumb's fishy Action Series. "Ain't that peculiar."

Record two's inner sleeve includes a mail order form for FGTH accessories, such as the "Sophisticated Virginia Woolf vest for the luxury of life" and the "Jean Genet boxer shorts", modelled by Paul Rutherford of the group Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Claudia Bruecken [sic] of the group Propaganda ...

"[4 symbols] x (frankie symbol) = BANG!
(the spunk plus the bomb plus the pump plus the torture instrument times frankie equalling the bang is an exclusive piece of ZTT exploitation.)" © ZTT 1984
