June 2-8, 1982 (From the disc-sample manufactured in Spånga)

This is sample number 0

HIT CANDIDATE: The surface-level is reached by the mixer craftmanship of Henrik Schildt, the three guitars of Tage, the AKG D12 mic on Nisse's bass-drum, the unique calabash sound from India empowered by the German tube microphone, the nuclear killer vocals by Michael. The song is now canditate for re-release in English version (straightforward translation of the Swedish epos) as the hit Trip and Die to be put on the market in all countries expecting a nuclear war.

Tage used Carlsbro amplifier and sometimes the guitar directly into the b-mixer. The guitar was Gibson Explorer.

To the re-release: This song will be replaced by the English version of dreamgirl Miss Lena Kagg's masterpiece "The Knight of the sorry sight" (In Swedish: "Riddaren av den sorgliga skepnaden" available at Total Muzak's homepage) that explains the consequence of a nuclear war.
