Pressing Information
There were 500 copies made, hand numbered with a red pen, some copies come in a white picture sleeve with classic promo band snapshots on each side, while the others have a pink sleeve featuring a photo of a heavily tattooed naked man.
The record is on black vinyl with yellow labels, on one side there is a vampire face with its mouth open, while the other has a drawing of a wimpy guy standing over the prostrate body of someone who looks similar to Saddam Hussein. In bold letters it says "Make'em bleed and suffer for their crimes! Even a 110-pound wimp could put down a Zulu chief with the Urban Skinner. Just think what a strong well-coordinated person like you could do. Skinner in your fist you could make a crowd of hugger/mugger/pimpo thieves look like they've been through a Bologna slicer!".
