Our work wasn’t quite finished yet, as we had to cut the album. To our knowledge nobody had put a program on a 12-inch disc before, so we were breaking new ground. After the last music track of side 2 there was a locking groove to prevent the code from blasting through someone’s speakers.

The only way to play the code was to physically lift the needle onto the last track.
