Notes:
From Email Correspondence:
DJ Sleeve: I'm not 100% sure how many of these there are but we originally made them to sell at a fest we where travelling to and the real covers where not ready in time so these where made. The first 50 or so just came with the paper insert w/ the statue and lyrics then after the fest the insert with the live photo was also included.
DJ Spen & the MutaFunkaz Labels: We found about 6-7 of the Generation 12" records with the wrong B side labels. This was a pressing plant error. We where packing the original run w/ DJ sleeves the night before we left for the fest and I noticed these.
13/100 Message: There are definitely not 100 of these. From my recollection Matt from Slasher records was selling these at a show and was just writing stuff on a handful of the sleeves. All where numbered #13/100. I'm not sure if all the messages where the same.

Notes from email correspondence with Matt Bickle (Slasher Records):
- Pressed in batches of 500?, then 800? then 100. Last 100 have off-white (creamy) labels (due to fading?) and were pressed to fill 100 remaining regular jackets.
- The DJ sleeve was done partly because the regular sleeves were not ready and some funds were needed to recoup some of the pressing costs
- Some Slasher Club members received a copy of the vinyl plus both sleeves and inserts.
- The Muthafunkaz labels occurred randomly through the first 2 or 3 boxes that came from the pressing plant. A couple were sold at the Posi Numbers Festival and a couple given away. It had been assumed that more would turn up... they didn't and unfortunately there weren't enough for all the band members. Awkward situation.

| DJ Sleeve - Front: (Photocopy insert peeping through hole) - These mostly have a sticker on the top RHS s shown above. A few have the sticker loose, or positioned elsewhere. |
 |
| DJ Sleeve - Back |
 |
| Photocopy Insert - Front: Came with DJ sleeve. Lyric sheet, with sword and eagle. Same as 7" insert, but larger and 'negative' - i.e. the 7'' version has black text and images on a white background. |
 |
| Photocopy Insert - Back: Statue image. Same as 7" but larger and (probably) only this image was used, whereas the 7" version had various images. |
