Notes:
No insert was included with the original 12" release.
Reflex magazine's discography stated
this was initially released in February 1988.
Marc Almond credited for lyrics &
vocals; Clint Ruin credited for music, instruments, direction, and production.
The Some Bizzare CD re-issue was renamed
MARC ALMOND & FOETUS Violent Silence*Flesh Volcano, which seems
to be a mistake or perhaps a poor joke, as "Violent Silence" is from
a different Marc Almond release. The Some Bizzare CD re-issue track
list is:
Flesh Volcano/Slut / The Universal Cess
Pool / Bruisin Chain / Love Amongst The Ruined / Burning Boats / A Million
Manias / Beat Out The Rhythm On A Drum
"Love Amongst The Ruined" taken from the
If You Can't
Please Yourself You Can't Please Your Soul various artists
LP.
"Burning Boats" credited on the Some Bizzare
CD re-issue as being from The House Is Haunted (By The Echo Of Your
Last Goodbye), and also appears on the the ANNIE HOGAN Plays Kickabye
12"EP (see below).
"A Million Manias" credited on the Some
Bizzare CD re-issue as being from the MARC & THE MAMBAS Torment
& Toreros release, which is
incorrect, as this version is the 10:16
version. Suspicion is that it is the "MultiManiaMix" from the MARC
& THE MAMBAS Torment 12", but without timing it one cannot be
sure. Thirlwell does sing background on both versions, though.
"Slut" is a re-edited version of SFOTW's
"Smut" from the Ramrod
12", or vice-versa.
Note that on the 'Slut' 12" side 2 plays
at 33 RPM; the tracks on the CD are the 45 RPM versions, and in this form
"Bruisin Chain" is a re-edited vocal version of the FOETUS ALL-NUDE REVUE
"Rattlesnake Insurance" from the Bedrock
release, and "The Universal Cesspool" is a vocal version of the first half
of "Diabolus In Musica" from the same release (the second half being used
on the soundtrack to LYDIA LUNCH's The Gun Is Loaded video).
The Thirsty Ear CD re-issue, released
10 Feb 1998, also changed the artist credits to MARC ALMOND & FOETUS,
though the title remains
intact. The change is due to the
added tracks from Thirlwell + Marc Almond collaborations (as opposed to
the Almond tracks that appeared
on the Some Bizzare re-issue), which are:
Love Amongst The Ruined / Burning Bloats
/ A Million Manias / Beat Out The Rhythm On A Drum
Note that "Burning Bloats" is from the ANNIE HOGAN Plays Kickabye 12"EP, and was titled "Burning Boats" (sic).
