Overview

The album cover features the image of the serial killer Peter Kürten, who has an instrumental track "dedicated" to him on the album. The album also marks the beginning of the themes concerning serial killers. The opening song features a sample of a news man reporting on the capture of Peter Sutcliffe for the "Yorkshire Ripper" killings.

The album includes new versions of the songs, "On Top", "The Second Coming" (both originally from their debut album Birthdeath Experience), and "Her Entry" (from the United Dairies compilation album Hoisting the Black Flag).

Dedicated to Peter Kürten was originally limited to 900 copies on vinyl, with the first edition consisting of 500 copies and the second edition consisting of 400 copies on the group-owned record label, Come Organisation. It was later reissued by the group's second record label, Susan Lawly, on compact disc in 1996.
