    A phenomenal album and a landmark noise/experimental release, but beware this particular pressing, which doesn't have the lock groove on side D. I'll be glumly flipping this to my local shop and being more careful about which pressing I buy next time. :(

      As much as I appreciate noise music this so called record is the equivalent of an aural lobotomy. After a few minutes
      my ears are begging for mercy. Nevertheless I certainly do not begrudge its irers.

        My version is the same as this, but it doesn't end in a locked groove, even though the side D label says "16:01 or ∞". Anyone else have this?
