2008 digitally remastered, expanded and enhanced edition of this influential album that not only helped launch the careers of the likes of Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and The The, but also cemented Some Bizzare Records' position as one of the worlds most important independent labels. Features two bonus audio tracks originally considered for the initial release (by Fad Gadget and The Normal) plus an enhanced video of The Residents' 'The Act of Being Polite'.
