Originally recorded in 1973 in Germany with Faust. Slapp Happy's label at the time, Polydor, refused to release the album, so the band moved to England and re-recorded it for Richard Branson's fledgling Virgin label, where it was a success. The original mix was finally released in 1980 as Acnalbasac Noom:
