Music from Consequences, Mercury SRM-1-3780, Canada/1979
Commercial release with great shot of Kevin & Lol on front cover pointing to a miniature version of the cloud formation that appears on the front of the 3-LP set. The cover makes no mention of the original release (from which all the tracks are lifted). The lyric sleeve however, says the following: "Consequences, originally a triple LP recorded in 1976, was a vehicle for a series of musical experiments designed to test and explore the potential of the Gizmotron, a new musical instrument invented by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley. It is the story of one eccentric's battle against the combined forces of Mother Nature and the inherent weaknesses and frailties of human nature as portrayed by four other characters involved in the conflict of divorce.

This selection of 'Music From Consequences' includes the songs that reflect the attitudes and feelings of all five personalities, and some of the instrumental themes, describing the power of the Elements wot threaten them."
