ifm. 1001 / 4 tracks / 1988 (bootleg)

500 made. There’s three different sleeves for the Invasion From Mars version, a black & white one (see picture), one with the same design but in full color (color xerox) and one with the band picture from Walk Among Us (front). Also sold as ’Night of the living dead’ and ’Return of…’ 7”s, same record, different covers. So now there’s FIVE sleeves for the same record.

Four “alternate studio outtakes” that back then really were unreleased; the first three are from the Static Age sessions that have been issued on the Static Age CD, the last one is from the 1980 session that is now included on the Box Set Sessions CD. All songs on this bootleg are played back at a higher speed, sounds kind of weird. [7]  

Tatsächlich ’alternate studio outtakes’, allerdings mit höherer Geschwindigkeit aufgenommen (Teenagers from Mars kommt mit Micky-Maus-Stimme ganz witzig). Nicht schlecht, allerdings braucht man schon einen Plattenspieler mit variabler Geschwindigkeit, um die Songs in Originalgeschwindigkeit zu hören; ohnehin sind diese Version inzwischen legal veröffentlicht; wer die Box hat, ist auf der sicheren Seite.
