Additional Information

Comments Pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl at Optimal (Germany) and comes in a tipped-on heavyweight gatefold jacket printed in full-color process plus a spot metallic ink and spot matte varnish. LP dust sleeve is also 4-color print. Package includes a 7" in printed dust sleeve (same audio appears in a different sequence on the CD) and a 12"x48" pull-out poster (printed full-color on both sides) featuring a collage of film stills specially-photographed and captured from the GYBE live 16mm projections. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is also credited as God's Pee on the back cover, spine and liner notes.

While noted here as sides A-D, the album artwork lists them respectively as A1, A2, B1 and B2. The artwork also suggests listening to it in the order of A1, B1, A2, B2, to match the CD pressing.

Sides A and B were recorded at Hotel2Tango. Tracks C and D recorded in concrete jamspace, mixed at the pines. All of it mastered at Greymarket.
