S.F.A.G. 31.11.1981 was originally released on cassette in July 1982, referencing an "absurd" date (the 31st of November). The album was part of a trilogy of works with "impossible" dates, such as MENSES 30.2.1982 (released in September 1982) and M.U.U.N.H. 31.4.1982 (released in November 1982).
The tracks S.F.A.G. PART 1 and S.F.A.G. PART 2 originally formed a single suite, later divided into two parts due to the limited duration of the cassette on which the work was published.
The image shown here is the original of a letter sent in 1982 by Maurizio Bianchi to Roberto Marinelli (the mind behind the project Laxative Souls, one of the very first post-industrial music projects in the Italian scene, which many critics consider to be chronologically second only to M.B.), with whom Bianchi had a very extensive correspondence of postal messages.
