Self released through H.A.T.S. Inc. (their own label for just this release) Recorded during the Summer of '80 at Studio A, Montreal. Distributed by Trend Records & Tapes, Canada. However, the record and sleeve were actually pressed in the U.S. Tracy Howe is credited on the back of the sleeve (guitars) but did not really play on this record. Quote from MWH's official website regarding this release: 'This EP was recorded at Marco Studio in Old Montreal and its original pressing was of 3000 copies in 10 inch form (I think that there might have been a second pressing of 3000). It was subsequently picked up by Stiff Records (US) and a further 16,000 records were pressed for the US market. The only difference between the two pressings is that the US pressing was a 12" record. ... Tracy Howe also never played on this or any other MWH album. The folks who have this on their album means that they have a second pressing copy because Tracy's name was added because he had just joined the band!'
