Comments:

A new label and a new title for the umpteenth reissue of Yellow Matter Custard by the producers behind the earlier Yellow Records release. However their was no new material here.

Rumours of the Decca tape circulating around the time of this release, probably led to the title as did that of the Fan Buy Decca Audition. The failure to list any tracks probably fooled many fans. However with a printed cover and new Berkeley labels this remained a popular title which was also pressed several times.
