King Apparatus was the original home to Chris Murray, subsequently and formerly known as Venice Shoreline Chris. As soon as Chris went on a murderous rampage and took out the rest of his band, he went out on his own. What? No. Canadians don't do those sorts of things. There were two distinct original CD pressings - one on Raw Energy and one on Cargo. There was a Raw Energy cassette as well. All of those can be relatively hard to find. There may be multiple versions of the cassette (with and without bar code) - that's unconfirmed. It was later re-released on CD on Asian Man. That version is an easy find.
