Caledonian Gothic - Fiend

Advantages: 6 Bonus tracks not found on the vinyl release
Disadvantages: None

Now I`m Feeling Zombiefied is the second most lengthy song that appears on this release.

Disadvantages: No lyrics

...As stated in the title this is the first compact disc by Alien Sex Fiend. It is basically "Maximum Security" with 4 extra tracks.
