At least one source lists this DT with a release date of 1998-10-16, but this is likely incorrect. The liner notes specify that the tape was recorded on April 1st of some year, with a 5 member lineup. By April 1997 (as confirmed by a flyer and the demotape MASQUERADE), the band had only 4 members, and was signed to MATINA, which had nothing to do with this release. As such, this DT was probably released around April of the year prior, 1996.

(An April 1995 release is also technically possible, but the lineup back then would have likely included original vocalist KAZUMI.)

Also, some sources list this tape as having a second track, CROWN (or CLOWN). This also seems to be incorrect. CROWN instead appeared on MASQUERADE and the NEW AGE CULTURE omnibus. A re-recording—assuming that we're right about this DT having an April 1996 release date—of title track MASTER BATE・・・ also appears on the DT REQUIEM.
