The promo was a 1-track 1-sided vinyl. The finished copies had three versions of the track Mind Odyssey. I had sed release several years ago when i was a warp train- spotter but have long since sold it. I don't think it was a prank. Several of the early warp releases were "unusual, cheesy, and/ or bad." Obviously quality control has increased at warp within the past few years. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
