Recorded by Larry Packer @ Uncle Punchy Studios in October 1991. Additional guitar work by Mark Stanley and Scott Crawford. Released on Black, Gold, and Clear vinyl. There was also a misprinted black 7" released that had track listings on both labels instead of just one side. The "Test Pressing" mentioned in the Inner Journey Flyer is on Black Vinyl, and comes in a red paper sleeve that says "Far Country Test Pressing" on it. (Pitchfork was originally called "Far Country"). The "St. Ides Pressing" was just going to be Pitchfork printed on a malt colored vinyl. (Apparently some members of the band and the IJ crew had a fondness for that particular beverage. Who could blame them?) It also mentions a Clutch Anthology CD which was never released to my knowledge.

• black pressing (standard) - 850 copies printed first pressing
• gold pressing - 150 copies printed first pressing
• clear pressing - ??? copies printed first pressing*
• black pressing (standard) - ??? copies printed second pressing*
• misprint pressing - ??? copies printed during second pressing of standard*

*(there were a total of 500 copies printed of the clear pressing and the second black pressing, but Dave (from the now defunct Inner Journey Records) couldn't remember how many of each were printed. It's also uncertain how many misprints were printed.)

No catalog number for this puppy. Like the soapmakers promo, it was made by someone with a CD burner at Columbia and sent out to select parties. Very rare.

Advance copy of the full CD (minus bonus tracks) sent out to radio stations and other "important" folk in the industry. .....wonder how the hell I got one.....

The "Callout Hooks" are just 10 and 5 second little snippets of the song for D.J.'s to play when talking about the record, band, or whatever.

Promo CD sampler handed out to promote the "Diabolus In Musica" tour w/ Slayer, Clutch, and System Of A Down. 

Promo CD containing 2 of the 3 hidden bonus tracks from "The Elephant Riders."

Not 100% sure if this one's legit or not. CD has print similar to other Columbia ER promos, but cover looks homemade.

Re-release of the classic 1991 seven inch vinyl. Available at http://www.clutchgear.net.

Advance copy of the forthcoming E.P. to be released on M.I.A. Records in late summer 1999. Recording is complete, but track listing is off by one song secondary to omitting one of the instrumentals on the track list. CD has 12 tracks, but only 11 are listed.

*Jam Room was NOT released on M.I.A. Records. This entry is left on the page for historical purposes only. The CD you see IS a legitimate pressing, though.

Cover art design came from a contest held on pro-rock.com. Fans submitted designs, and winner was chosen by band.

Features an extended 12:37 version of Frankenstein.
