from "On Tour With The Evil Prince":
"This is the european re-release of "Wasp Man Has Metal Wings", released in 1984. The sound on this one is inferior to the Wizardo pressing."

from "Rollin Red's Big Bad But Beautiful Book of Beefheart Bootlegs - Volume #2" (Apocalypse) / 1995 :
"1976 single bootleg Confidential on El Wizardo Discos 365A/B - 300 series - (licensed thru Squirrel Skat Products). Made in Mexico! This is the original bootleg LP of red splattered vinyl with the WRMB 365 (Wizardo Records & Music Buys) matrix number scratched on the disc's run-out, is almost certainly the more commonly known Metal Man Has Hornet's Wings bootleg. This LP has a history of its own & I shan't add to the confusion of its true orientations. Suffice tos ay, the bootleg is the most re-pressed & well known boot."
