Sleeping Beast / K-9 / Quiet Solitude / The Pit / Dead of Winter / A.M. / Meat Flavour / Edge of Insanity
Personnel: cEVIN Key - keyboard, drumbox, tape, effekt, voice. Nivek Ogre - voice, lyrik. Recorded 11/83-1/84. Engineered, mixed, and produced by cEVIN at Brainstorm Room except "Sleeping Beast", engineered by Rave at Mush Room VBCC 21/1/84. According to the liner notes: "Thanx to The Monk & Bear for their contributions, N.E. & P.C., L.P.D.s (Nocturnal Emissions, Portion Control, Legendary Pink Dots) for their influences and hellos, B.L. (Bill Leeb) and friends for the support. TS for everything else."
Notes: Initially planned to be a limited edition of 50 copies, although only 35 copies were officially made (15 hand dubbed, 20 high speed dubbed). However, there were at least 15 more copies (numbered 36 through 50) produced, possibly by Bill Leeb. It's quite likely that additional bootleg copies also exist.
These tracks appear in a remastered form on BACK AND FORTH SERIES TWO (listed below). The mix of 'Sleeping Beast' included here is a different (and shorter) mix from those included later on the 'Remission' and 'Back & Forth Series 2' releases.

Notes: The Belgian EP release is labeled 45 rpm, but was pressed for play at 33 rpm. Label variations exist on the FACE 10 Belgian copies - one early edition of the Scarface pressing has a photo of skulls with crossbones on the label (same as the initial Nettwerk Canada 12 NTWK 12 pressings), whereas apparently later editions had more generic black lettering on plain white paper, with no photos.
Vinyl etching (on original Nettwerk pressings): Side Back (Side A), Side Forth (Side B)- TLC?
Some copies of the 1986 Nettwerk/Capitol/EMI pressings have the A & B sides reversed. Some copies have B side on both sides. Most copies are correct.
Some early copies included a small foldout Nettwerk calendar, which pictured all of Nettwerk's releases up to that point. It is unclear if this is the same calendar that was included in some copies of the "Bites" vinyl LP in 1985.

Personnel: cEVIN Key, Nivek Ogre, with guest artists Wilhelm Schroeder (bass synth on 3 tracks), Mr. D. Plevin (fretless bass on "Glass Houses"). Produced and engineered by cEVIN Key and David Ogilvie. Recorded in 1984 at Mushroom, except 'Incision', 'Film', 'Manwhole', and 'Ice Breaker', which were recorded in 1985 at Mushroom.
Notes: The versions of "Film" and "Icebreaker" differ from the versions later released on the CS / CD versions of BITES listed below. The version of 'Sleeping Beast' included here is slightly different (and longer) than the mix that appeared earlier on the original 'Back & Forth' cassette. The version that appeared on 'Back & Forth Series 2' is essentially the same as the one included here, only slightly edited.

Notes: This is the order the tracks appear on the album. The cover lists the track "Film" as appearing on the end of Side Attack (side 1) after "Icebreaker".
The track "Icebreaker" that appears on various editions of BITES is made up of the first 30 seconds of the track "Manwhole" edited together with the track "Ice Breaker", both originally on REMISSION (listed above).
The 1985 edition included a full colour Nettwerk calendar/catalog insert, and had black and white center labels with track listing on one side of the vinyl and Nettwerk logo on other. On the label with the track listing, the text “bites are infectious” appears. Label contact address and phone number printed on back of jacket.

This vinyl is a later pressing of the FACE 15

The track listing is the same as the other two pressings. There are a few differences from the original
black labeled pressing. This pressing
has the words ‘MADE IN BENELUX’ on the spine.
Additionally, the vinyl labels are a redish
pink with black writing. This pressing
has ‘The Choke’ written on the vinyl label, while the original version has it
listed as ‘Choke’. It should also be
noted that the listed times of the songs on the vinyl label differ from that of
the first pressing, in many cases by quite a bit. For instance, ‘Last Call’ is listed as 48
seconds shorter on this later pressing. In
this instance, the first pressing has the incorrect time listed.

The version of "Love" on MIND:TPI differs from the version included on the BITES CS / CD.
Some copies of the NTL 30005 vinyl editions come with a single page Nettwerk insert. On this pressing, the last 5 seconds of 'Burnt With Water' are cut out.
The Canadian pressing has a lock groove on the end of side B (the ending samples from 'Burnt With Water' are looped, though this can only be heard on certain turntables without automatic stylus pickup). PIAS copies are not pressed this way and consequently may be missing a few odd seconds of 'Burnt With Water'. More info needed. Additionally, the Nettwerk pressings of the LP cover art have a slightly more 'purple' tinge than the PIAS versions, which are more blue in color. This is likely simply a by-product of the inks used, rather than a conscious effort to differentiate the two.
The Australian pressing may have been promo-only, as the only reported copies have a promo sticker on the rear sleeve as well as a stamp marking on the vinyl label. This pressing did not include the lock groove of the Canadian copies.

There were two different issues of the vinyl: One with original labels (light orange) one with new labels (pink and green).
Vinyl etchings:
- Side A - WEVE GOT THE TASTE and SHEPPARD WASHES THE BLOOD
- Side AA - ICH BIEN SHOOSHER, LOVE AFFAIR, RPM, COPA, BUSINESS and DIAMOND
"ICH BIEN SCHOOSHER" (as well as the "ICH BIN SHEISS" etching on the 'Cleanse Fold' vinyl etching listed below) probably refers to the Skinny Puppy concert in Munich, Germany on November 4, 1986, whereas cEvin, Dwayne, and Ogre collaborated with the bands Severed Heads, a;Grumh, and Snowy Red on a 40-minute improvised noise set. An audience member can be heard late in the show screaming something similar to the above. This concert was recorded and intended for release on vinyl LP through Puppy's then-European label, Play It Again Sam. Unfortunately, the master tapes were stolen when the touring van was broken into. The show now only exists on a live bootleg audience tape.
"WEVE GOT THE TASTE" refers to the Tina Turner sample (taken from a Diet Pepsi commercial) that appears in "Assimilate (r23 remix).
"SHEPPARD WASHES THE BLOOD" is a reference to Toronto DJ and long-time Puppy friend, Chris Sheppard.
"LOVE AFFAIR", "RPM", "COPA",
"BUSINESS" and "DIAMOND" are all names of

There is a promotional version of this release rumoured to exist with the same track listing as the commercial edition, packaged in a bag with a sticker and MIND: TPI poster. Additionally, there are promo copies of the vinyl that are the same as the regular US copies, although the outer cover jackets included an industry-standard gold stamp indicating the promo status.

Notes: This release is a compilation of the REMISSION and BITES releases with a couple of tracks replaced with remixed versions. It was deleted when Nettwerk released REMISSION and BITES as two separate CDs. Two pressings were made of this disc: One by Praxis Technologies and another by Americ Disc Inc. The version of 'Film' is the shorter (2:19) mix from BITES rather than the extended version from REMISSION. Also, the version of 'Ice Breaker' is the longer (3.14) mix from BITES rather than the shorter (2:47) version from REMISSION.

Notes: CD edition was re-released in 1993 in a remastered version, as previous copies were erroneously mastered with Dolby on, which 'flattened' the album's overall sound. All subsequent copies are the remastered version. The remastered versions can be detected by the 'thunderclap' sound (which originally was at the ending of track 9, 'Choralone') being indexed as the opening of track 10 ('Amputate') instead. The original Capitol US release of the CD was housed in a color artwork longbox.

Notes: The tracks "Addiction (second dose)" and "Testure (S.F. mix)" are listed on the cover of the vinyl LP editions, but do not actually appear, though it is rumoured that certain pressings of the vinyl LP DO include all tracks (this has yet to be verified). Similarly, not all copies of the cassettes include these tracks, despite them being listed on the j-card. "Serpents" is mistitled "Serphants" on the LP. This misspelling also appears on the CD art. The last few seconds of "deep down Trauma Hounds (remix)" are cut off on the CD.

Notes: This NTSC-format video was a promo-only release, and was never officially released except in very limited quantities to clubs or DJs. The videotape is labeled with the following: "SKINNY PUPPY "Worlock" LENGTH, 5:35MINS (6or8)/10/92 D1(lots of blurred numbers) CAPITAL RECORDS, INC. VIEWING CASSETTE S T E R I O" There are 3 versions of this unreleased video (rated R, X, and A), and there may well be different promo copies floating around. Numerous bootlegs also profess to be 'promo' copies, further complicating this 'release'. Certain copies were also distributed via a promo VHS tape given away by Gary Blair Smith's Plasma Films, which included the A-rated version of 'Worlock' alongside the Puppy promo videos for 'Spasmolytic' and 'Testure', the 'Chunkblower' trailer (with music by Key and Goettel and appearances by Dwayne and Bill Leeb) and Front Line Assembly's 'Virus'.

Love in Vein / Killing Game / Knowhere? / Mirror Saw / Inquisition / Scrapyard / Riverz End / Lust Chance / Circustance / Download
Personnel: Ogre, Key, Goettel. Produced by David Ogilvie and cEVIN Key. Recorded by Ken Marshall. Mixed by Marshall, Ogilvie, and Goettel. Edited by Anthony Valcic. Mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The track 'Download' includes the uncredited input of Martijn De Kleer (of the Legendary Pink Dots/Tear Garden), as some of his synthwork was secretly recorded and edited into the track.
Notes: This album was originally intended to have 11 tracks, but the song which was supposed to be the 10th track, "Left Hand Shake", had to be dropped due to problems getting the rights to use some samples of Timothy Leary speaking. (From the notes of cEVIN Key - "Sample from 'Tune In Turn On'. Permission denied from Henry G. Saperstein, owner of copyright - but Leary granted permission, so what do you do?") Rumours that the track would be released as a bootleg single sided 7" were unfounded, but the track was later released on the Internet as a sound file, and appears on the unofficial cassette release AIN'T ENOUGH DAMN PUPPY (listed below). Versions also appear on the first European edition of BRAP: BACK & FORTH SERIES 3+4, on the bootleg release INTOLERANCE, and on the very limited TRACK 10 single (listed below).
The Canadian CD release has 10 tracks on the disc, while the
The initial cassette listed was an advance copy, and included a white j-card insert and no I, Braineater cover artwork. The listed track time for 'Download' is erroneously listed (as 1:01). Back of insert has release dates and brief info on 'Last Rights' and 'Inquisition' single releases, as well as info on promotional "marketing tools" (bio, photos, poster, 1x1s and stickers).
Early releases of the US version of the CD had a pressing glitch that caused everything on the disc to be shifted 39 seconds too early (i.e. the first 39 seconds of "Love in Vein" were missing, "Killing Game" started 39 seconds before the first track on the CD ended, etc., and "Download" ended with 39 seconds of silence). This glitch was repaired, leading to a second pressing that included a sticker reading "Quality Controlled Skinny Puppy".
Copies purchased through the Columbia House CD club (CW2-30072) feature yet another pressing glitch, this time on the disc art itself. These CDs have the actual disc design from the 'Tormentor' single printed on the disc, rather than the proper 'Last Rights' design. All outer artwork, music, etc. seem to be correct.
The
The
Additionally, if this wasn't enough trouble plaguing the release, there exist copies of the German pressings (full artwork covers, etc.) which include incorrect music. One copy has the exact same sleeve, labels, and vinyl etchings that is consistent with the German pressing full artwork vinyl, however, music on the entire disc is the album ‘Swallow This Live’ from ‘Poison’ (disc 1 of the double set). Furthermore, there may be another copy that has incorrect music only on Side B. The vinyl's Side B etching/catalogue number remain intact, but according to Jesper@electronic-obsession.se, the music was some sort of live rock band.

Notes: This release was a promotional radio giveaway packaged in a cardboard sleeve. The two tracks appear on both sides of the cassette.
An early promo demo tape form with six tracks (Jahya / Death / Disco Infernal (later known as Candle)/ Hardset Head / The Process / Carpenter (later known as Curcible) may have also been released, with several early and unreleased mixes.

Jahya / Death / Candle / Hardset Head / Cult / Process / Curcible / Blue Serge / Morter / Amnesia / Cellar Heat
Personnel: D.R. Goettel, cEVIN Key, N. Ogre with guests Pat Sprawl (guitars on 6 tracks), Philth (wave manipulation on ‘Morter’ and ‘Amnesia’), Pepperdine (viola and cello on ‘Cult’), Martin Atkins (voices on ‘Death’), Lauren Boquette (backing vocals on ‘Candle’ and ‘Hardset Head’), Rave (guitar on ‘Cult’), and Troll (guitar on ‘Cult’). Produced by David Ogilvie and Skinny Puppy 1992-1995. Recorded at Subconscious Studios (June 1994-May 1995), Shangri-La Studios (November 1993-May 1994), and additional recording at Soundhouse, Seattle. Mixed at Warehouse Studios (September 1995) by David Ogilvie, Ken Marshall, and cEVIN Key. Assisted by Gary Winger. Edited and mastered by Anthony Valcic at Enterprise. ‘Shangri-La LA Studio 93’ constructed and engineered by Ken Marshall, Produced by Skinny Puppy and Martin Atkins. Also contributing to the production of this album: Mark Walk and Roli Mossiman.
Notes: The first CD listed above is a promotional release with the same track listing as the commerical release. It is packaged in a plain jewel case with no front insert and a green and white back cover which includes a short band bio and track listing where "Hardset Head" is misspelled "Hardest Head". The second CD listed has a regular version and a promotional version. The promotional version has all the same artwork but is stamped with a generic gold promotional warning.
The inlay for some of the CDs contained a picture of a skull beneath the disc tray, while other did not. This may have been a difference between US and Canadian releases.
Also referred to as having release number SUB 006, though initial 1996 copies made no mention of this in the liners or packaging.
The W2 43057 edition of the Columbia House pressing has a gray coloured disc, unlike other versions which have black and gray discs. Additionally, the barcode is different than those of other editions.
A sticker was attached to the front cover stating: "the process - the final skinny puppy release". A very small amount of initial U.S. copies (possibly distributed by Best Buy stores) were erroneously encoded with music by rock group Bush (the album 'Sixteen Stone').
The Taiwan edition had an obi strip that referenced Trent Reznor, Ministry and Nine Inch Nails to attract CD shoppers.

Recorded and mixed at D&D Studios, NYC. Engineered by Leo ‘Swift’ Morris, assisted by Kevin Bergen. Additional production and remix on ‘Chainsaw’ by Josh Wink.
Notes: Due to an error at Nettwerk's US pressing plant, initial US copies were released with Christian folk music on the audio portion of the disc. The Christian music is from ‘The Wedding of the Lamb: Song of the Bride’ words and melody by David Magiera, arranged and recorded by Michael & Renita Ten Eyck and was put out by Bride Of Christ Ministries. This was promptly recalled by Nettwerk. Alien Jourgensen is also erroneously credited in the liner notes for production and engineering on both 'Killing Game' and 'Worlock'. It appears that the Nettwerk UK edition was also distributed in Germany, France, Scandinavia, and Spain, as copies do not appear to have been physically produced and released in those countries.
A 12-track 'unmastered' promo CDR was released in Europe, and North America as well, in very limited quantities. Both releases contained all titles except the Mark Walk remix of 'Dig It', which seemed to be a last-minute addition to the final release. The European 'version' was housed in a slimline jewel case. The North American release was reportedly issued on a gold-topped disc (green/gold recording surface), with the following info written in black marker: "Skinny Puppy "ReMix Dys Temper" Unmastered". The back of the case has the info: "Nettwerk Skinny Puppy ReMix Dys Temper -advance music Non Mastered Version", as well as the tracklist, the Nettwerk date and copyright info, a couple of nettwerk logos, a large Skinny Puppy logo on the right side, and the 'compact disk digital audio' symbol.

TRACK 10
xCDS 2000 no label no cat# DE
Left Handshake
Notes: This limited-to-1000 copies, one-track single was sold only at the Doomsday Puppy reunion concert, with the remaining 400 copies hand-numbered and sold briefly by direct mailorder through Subconscious. It was housed in a glossy picture cardsleeve simply titled 'Track 10', with the only info listed as 'limited edition: 1000 copies'. The mix included here is slightly different (Ogre's vocals here are less effected during the spoken parts) from the one included on early copies of the German 'BRAP: BACK & FORTH 3+4' 2xCD. This mix is also slightly different from the version previously leaked onto the "Intolerance" bootleg CD. This release was reputedly manufactured for the band by Dependent Records Germany.

Personnel: cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre. Produced by Greg Reely and Skinny Puppy. Edited and mixed by Greg Reely at the Green Jacket, Vancouver. Additional editing by Chris Vaughan-Jones and Shaun Thingvol. Additional programming by Phil Western. Mastered by 'Eagle Ears'.
Notes: This is the live recording of the Puppy reunion show at the Doomsday Festival in Dresden, Germany from August 20, 2000. A DVD release was initially planned but will not happen as Nettwerk has refused to release it, though the footage exists. Also referred to as having release number SUB 22. The CD release was initially planned to include 'Hardset Head' but due to clearance and licensing problems between Nettwerk and American Recordings, the track was cut from release. It was finally cleared and released as a free MP3 file directly from Nettwerk's website on the day of release (August 21, 2001). The first German SPV release listed is an advance promo in a card sleeve with no artwork. The regular SPV releases are digipacks, whereas the North American versions are contained in jewel cases.

SUB23c has a green cover scheme, to distinguish itself from the previous pressing. Photos by cEvin Key, sleeve design and layout by Simon Paul and Scott Graham. The Process symbol was also mysteriously absent from the reissue cover art.

Information on the Japanese release, courtesy of Tim Walkenhorst: "Same tracklist/artwork as the SPV Version. CD appears in a jewelcase and is enclosed in a cardboard slipcase (similar to the slipcase of the SPV Version). A folded approx. 10"x10" black and white info sheet is enclosed within the inlet. It features Japanese translations of the songs and a biography in Japanese. Promo copies exist which are almost identical to the regular Nippon Crown release, except for two minor differences. The barcode (on the Obi) is covered by a sticker which states something in red Japanese letters. (probably something like "promo only - not for sale", but I don't understand Japanese). The words "sample . loaned" (in English) are pressed into the inner circle of the cd itself."
