Alex Fergusson, John Gosling, Genesis & Paula　P.Orridge, Mr. Sebastian.

Second untitled track on side B consists of Jim Jones's voice coming out of the right channel & Charles Manson's voice coming from the left channel. 

The two tracks are pressed using a double groove. If you put the needle anywhere on the side, you’ll never know if you'll ear Topy’s Spokesman or Jim Jones & Charles Manson.

A: Roman P (Short Version) by PTV  6:24

B: Neurology (Double Grove) by TOPY

1): TOPY Spokesman   2:17

2a): Jim Jones (Right)  2:31

2b): Charles Manson (Left)

B面は１曲だが、溝が２本有り針がどちらに落ちるかわからないというもの。一つはThe Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) のスポークスマンからのメッセージ。もう一つは右チャンネルにJim Jones、左チャンネルにCharles Mansonの演説。よってA面の"Roman P"とは必然的に "Roman Polanski"。PDFにまとめたブックレット記載の上記写真もイカス。全てのギミックがジェネ子らしいが、此の頃はまだPaulaと結婚してて、メンバー写真手前に写っているのは其の子供。

Industrial Musicから オカルティックな宗教団体「Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth」設立。結婚後、いち早くAcid Houseへと向かい性転換手術も行った才人、Genesis P-Orrigeそのものが PTVである。聴くというよりも体験するそれは、何とも魅力的である。
