Overview

About the re-recorded version of "Return to the Eve" (originally from the "Morbid Tales" mini-album), In line with Reed's habit of loudly goofing off during songs, with Reed loosely sharing lead vocals as we go. [Fischer 2000, page 116.] Celtic Frost included this "party-like studio-jam" of the said song on "Tragic Serenades" as their "first public display of light-heartedness." [Fischer 2000, page 138.]
