wasp man has metal wings

from "On Tour With The Evil Prince":
"This lp was originally released in 1976 on colored vinyl. Its source was the kwst-fm radio broadcast on 1975/11/01. This lp has been re-released many times with different titles & covers, but all of them were pressed from the original plates. Among the re-releases are "Metal Man Has Hornet's Wings" (Tiger Boy Records WRMB 365), pressed in 1978 with the 'scrap metal' slick. Or Dragonfly Records WRMB 365, pressed in 1980 with the 'group foto' on the slick. "Unconditionally Guaranteed" (WRMB 365) & "Confidential" (WRMB 365) are two more different titles for this lp. The latter was on multi-colored vinyl with the 'bongo fury' photo & re-released again as an (non-u.s.) import on black vinyl with an inferior sound quality. All the lps have black & white slicks on the front."
