Notes

Issued in a standard jewel case with a clear tray, 8- foldout lyrics booklet, 3 picture cards and an Obi strip.

Masami Akita is credited for only track 4 on the tray insert but for only track 7 in the booklet. The band's website entry for this album confirms the correctness of the latter.

            The CD booklet features 3 inner cards but I have one with Wata et two Atsuo. No Takeshi. ( just for the story)

              I've given up on a vinyl release. I would kill to even get this on CD. Jack White, please spend some of that White Stripes money to pay off Quattro and get the rights to release this. Otherwise I think we'd need a Kickstarter kind of deal? If it can happen for Aphex Twin's Caustic Window LP, we can make this work, too.

                There are days I wake up and I'm hit with the realization that this masterpiece is not on vinyl. And it depresses me greatly. One of the heaviest, most intense rock records of all-time.

                  How dare they not re-release at least a reasonably priced CD version of this album.
                  It is a true shame, not only to their legacy, but the legacy of all heavy rock and roll.
                  How dare they. This might be the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of
                  heavy music. RE-RELEASE THIS NOW.

                    When will this be re-released on CD? This album is amazing but the prices are ridiculous. I'm not paying 30 bucks for a CD.

                      I can't for the life of me understand why Heavy Rocks (v1.0) and Flood STILL haven't been issued on vinyl. They've been fan favorites for well over a decade, and if there's one thing Boris fans can be counted on to do, it's shell out for vinyl.

                      No time like the present! The band's erratic prolificacy in the years since Smile has alienated many longtime followers. I imagine that a couple nice round reminders of Takeshi, Wata & Atsuo at their best would bring quite a few of them (us) back into the fold...
