The record was pressed on clear translucent vinyl. This is a mispress for two tracks. B4 'Rockhard In A Funky Place' runs shorter than the other versions (4:30) as this record contains a skip within the sourced audio that begins at 3:09 until faded out just before 3:46. The skip is nearly in time to the song making it harder to catch during playback the fade out and needle not jumping indicates it is in the source recording. After A4 ends a couple more seconds than normal pass and then B5 Zed Yago's [url=https://www.discogs.com/composition/a199738e-4aed-4b72-a5d8-1aac11854bb1-The-Fear-Of-Death]'The Fear Of Death'[/url] begins at what would be about 2:46 into that original song. A5 should not be on this record and its presence indicates this record had to be pressed at least a year later than The Black Album's 1988 release, as 'The Fear Of Death' was released in 1989. Clearly this version is a bootleg as additionally the track order is different from other variants.

At the bottom of the sleeve on the back is printed NOIR 69.
