Co-producer: Megadeth.
There are four versions of this album. The tracklist shown is for the original version released by Combat. 10 years after the original pressing, "These Boots" was deleted under pressure from writer Lee Hazelwood, who found it offensive. There was also a Century Media reissue in 1999.
Original Combat vinyl pressing in single sleeve. Reissue in gatefold sleeve with poster of the cover.
The original cover changes from pressing to pressing, with some showing the rattlehead in a black background, others having a more greyish/metallic hue.
The 2002 remixed & remastered version contains 3 bonus tracks:
9. Last Rites / Loved to Deth (Demo) [4:16]
10. Mechanix (Demo) [3:59]
11. The Skull beneath the Skin (Demo) [3:11]
"These Boots" was permitted to be on the 2002 version, but only on the condition that the offensive words Dave added were (literally) bleeped out. It appears as track eight.
"Mechanix" is the original version of the Metallica song "The Four Horsemen."
