Amazingly bold sound pirate release.
The logo they give themselves is a derivative of the logo of Motown Records, an M in a box, just instead of Motown it reads Michael.
The sticker on the cassette claims Direct To Disc Master Sound, while actually you hear the crackling of the record they used to steal the sound.
The only credit noted on the cover is Produced by Tom Waits
Cat.Nr. is hand-stamped on one side's sticker.
