Additional Notes:

Although 'Knife Slits Water' was released in the US via Mango, not OFNY, it was allocated a OFNY catalogue number. However...

"My copy has an adhesive label on the sleeve bearing the FCL star/gear/wrench logo and the inscriptions 'The Sound Sound Proudly Presents', 'FACTA FOURTH', and 'MLPS 7802'. I interpret this to mean that this is catalogue number facta4 (or fa4), making it a Factory America, not an OFNY release." - Daniel Grobani
