There are three variants, one from each label that put out the 7", see image below.

Insert Variants:
Dangerous Fumes was pressed by three different record labels; the reverse of each label insert is slightly different. The insert in the centre is the Hate variant, printed on heavier paper and so the artwork from the front side does not show through as it does on the other two.

Centre -Hate: Glossy paper, lyrics to 'Dangerous Fumes' with Rosy Cross image below.
Right - LVEUM: On matt paper, layout as Hate Version, but lyrics in Spanish.

Teenage Problems Sleeve:
(Front & Back panels).
The paper used for the first press is shiny on one side and matt on the other.  Teenage Problems artwork is printed on the shiny front (i.e. correct?) side of the paper and Dangerous Fumes on the matt back side; hence the poorer print quality of the DF artwork on the first press.

Fums Perillosos Gig Flyers
These were made by the vocalist of Invasion, there were a number of different ones (maybe 8). They were randomly added to Fums Perillosos. Some are pictured below.












Notes 1 (Dangerous Fumes):

''Couple Tracks'' -  Extract From Notes on Inlay / Insert (2009):
The lyrics contain a bunch of words I don't remember the meaning of, and a cut verse that rhymed the words ''picayune'' and ''parvenu''. Talk about album material.
(Dangerous Fumes was for a time intended to go on the Hidden World LP)

Lyrically the song is confusing, dealing with some corrosion of society. There are also allusions to mind control and paints a picture ... "Smell the fumes that we smell and you're smiling / we want the world and the whole world is buying / you can't see straight you thought maybe we lied? / about the shit that we peddle / you're fucking stumped you've got nothing you're dumped / the fumes were too strong we got into your mind."

Speculation:
The lyrics also include: ''We should have listened to the birds'' Birds may be a metaphor for souls... Listen to birds and don't buy shit peddled via mind-control fumes. (This is what most Fucked Up songs are about)
 


Notes 2 (Teenage Problems):

DA: Like we have this song called "Teenage Problem," which Mike wrote, which is basically advocating paedophilia.
AVC: Yikes.
DA: Yeah. Wish we didn't have that song. I mean, we didn't write it as an anthem for paedophilia; it's more like us exploring the last taboo, but thankfully it was on a limited 7-inch that not many people heard. [Pauses.] Maybe that isn't taboo any more. Maybe in the wake of R. Kelly, paedophilia is now socially acceptable. [Laughs.] What a horrible world we live in.

''Couple Tracks'' - Extract From Notes on Inlay / Insert (2009):
A few years ago we had a discussion in the van about what taboos were still left, which is what happens when ''artists'' get bored. We decided that it was paedophilia, and that we would write a song about it. We put it as the 'B' Side to Dangerous Fumes and Never talked about it again. The sample* is legit - its Maurice Chevalier. And by legit I don't mean we paid to use the sample, I mean its a legitimately creepy song about little kids by a weird French guy. We don't play this song live any more because it gives Damian weird vibes...

* Chevalier sample appears on 7", not on CD



Notes 3 (Fixed Race):

''Couple Tracks'' - Extract From Notes on Inlay / Insert (2009):I believe this was our first ever import-only bside song. Dangerous Fumes wasreleased in 4 regions, technically - North America, Spain, the Basque region (in an edition of like 50) and Germany / EU. It was written by Jonah and is a snappy little number. It has never been played live.



Notes 4 (Fums Perillosos):

I.N.V.A.S.I.O.N. (LFG Post -Aug 08 2007):


Speaking of Little Darlings, last year we played a show in Barcelona that ended up being one of the best Fucked Up shows of all time. Like at one point Damian picked up a small woman, and the two of them were then both picked up and hurled off the stage.


More pictures can be found here from that show. Anyhow, in addition to playing with top-notch bands Uber, Otan and Tension, we played with Invasion (pronounced Spanish-style). They have a new 12" coming out on Paco's label, and you should anticipate it feverishly. Guille (the singer) uses this delay pedal on his vocals live and even though he had just bought us the worst pizza to eat in the western hemisphere, it still broke all our brains watching it. Just look at the picture (its the one at the top).

Una Bestia Incontrolable feature some of the members of some of the bands above and they are extraordinarily good.

Sleeve Notes 2 (Teenage Problems)


'The Bathers' by Henry Scott Tuke
''Couple Tracks'' Announcement  on LFG (Dec 14 2009)

This song is included in the compilation, but the songs existence as it's own 7" single release is half-dubious at best. Collectors will note that if you peer into the crevasse created by pushing a 7" sleeve inwards by its edges (in order to extract the vinyl, perhaps) you'll see another image, that of several young boys cavorting in the nude. Carefully dismantling this cover (with sweaty palms and a red face no doubt) either by heating the glue or just ripping it carefully by the edges will reveal a brand new 7" sleeve...
