​

A scarce mispress sent from the label to slected stores as a promo, with "Mello Mike Live" and a unique "(Letter From Home)" as B-sides.

MML is an heavy distorded live mix with fast rhythm cow bells in a funky style, seemingly recorded indoors. It remains unknown when and where it was recorded. It also appears on a Six Days CD-R.

​

As it looks exactly like the street release, the only way to tell the difference is by scrutinizing the dead wax symbols, here:
