 I've entered the official release date though copies were sent out early by the band. Mine came with a custom flyer which I've included in the scans.

Recording details are on the insert. Some of the tracks have been around on unofficial cassette/CDR but the sound quality here is better. The Southside and REL demos are new to me but the other studio tracks are familiar. The full date for the Regent Sound demos is 18th December 1978, I think this was linked to an Albion Music publishing deal. There's 5 tracks on my cassette copy, missing tracks are 'Walk Don't Walk' (they've used the Maida Vale/BBC version on this LP) and 'It Don't Mean Nothing At All' which has a few tape drop-outs, maybe all sources are like that hence it not being included on this LP.

Would have prefered if the live tracks were from the late 70's rather than the 2013 reunion but that's just being picky. All the songs are great particularly 'Sister Radio', a potential hit single given the opportunity. There's probably enough material out there for another LP if you include the singles, the missing Regent Sound tracks, another BBC session (Mike Read 1979) and anything else I don't know about.
