R E C O R D I N G I N F O R M A T I O N :
The audio track for the "Witching Hour" video is not the original 'Welcome To Hell' album version, nor is it a live version - it is an alternative studio version.
The audio track for the "Blood Lust" video originally released on 'Blood Lust' 7" Single.
N O T E S :
The title and packaging of this release are misleading - the Cover features the original 'At War With Satan' album cover art. It is possible that the copy I am using for reference is a bootleg, although it appears to be an official release. It is released in NTSC (US & Japan VHS) video format, an uncommon practice for the time. (A friend of mine purchased this in 1985 or 1986).
I have also seen this release referred to as 'Live EP 82' or 'Live EP September 82'. This title is also misleading, as there is no true "live" content. The intro and videos show Venom on stage, but there is no attempt made to simulate a Venom concert. The entire band plays right into the camera, and there are no audience sounds or visuals - these are videos!

N O T E S :
My only source for information on this release is at http://www.isk.kth.se/~isk_lejo/venom/venomflexi.htm. Release title listed as 'The New One' - is this supposed to be "The Evil One"? Does this release only contain one track: "The Evil One"? Is this track the version originally released on the 'Cast In Stone' album?
