JamesTrash 16th Apr 2023		Both the Direct Hits LP (as BIG 8) and the All For Art comp (as BIG 9) were also announced in Music Week for 11/11/83 but I guess Whaam! were being over ambitious planning 3 albums together. Maybe a financial issue? Whaam! didn't get there act together until June 1984, Direct Hits on the 8th and the VA comp on the 22nd. The TVP's probably didn't want to wait that long so got the deal with Illuminated. The other two LP's dropped a number in the catalogue sequence.



OldMod67 16th Apr 2023		@JamesTrash - Thanks, that makes more sense. It was late coming out and with the label issues wasn't around for too long either. The date you give seems a lot closer, as I got the Art For All comp (Whaam! BIG 8) in the Summer. I haven't had a dive into my scrapbooks and modzines looking for this as I didn't notice this 1985 date until yesterday.



JamesTrash 15th Apr 2023		Scheduled 11/11/83 on Whaam! (BIG 7), not released. Scheduled 24/02/84 on Illuminated (JAMS 37) but delayed until (I think?) 13/04/84. The January 1985 date, likely sourced from Music Master, would be due to a distribution change from Jungle to Pinnacle.



OldMod67 15th Apr 2023		I don't have any press releases or flyers, but I'm pretty sure the release date here is a little late. I am convinced I bought it in 1984 (great year for albums, for me anyway!). I saw it at my local Our Price and indie (Armadillo) and purchased it at one or the other (Armadillo I think). I haven't submitted a request to change in case a member has more than their memory to rely on.



janiejjones 3rd Jul 2016		Track listings on cover and labels are incorrect, A5 is listed as B5, B1 not listed at all (it is a different version of A2) This is "The Painted Word 2" (B1) in reality:
