This album was released on Epic Records, through CBS in the band's native Canada. In 1987, the Roadrunner Records released it on LP in the Netherlands and the smaller label Mercenary released it on LP/Cassette/CD in the U.S. later the same year. That CD was a much sought-after collectible, going for as much as over $150 on eBay. The band reissued the album (albeit with different cover artwork) in 2004, on their own label.
