When Mekanik Kommando split, a German collector, found Peter Van Vliet. Peter, who still had vinyl copies of the last Mekanik Kommando, put a sticker over the name Mekanik Kommando and the title of the album with the new name The Use Of Ashes - The Castle Of Fair Welcome. It is unknown how many copies this collector bought, but a lot were exchanged in the European world of vinyl collectors.
