Notes

Record Store Day 2021 (Drop 2) release.
Limited edition double 180g vinyl. Gatefold sleeve.
Includes voucher (WAV files).

First reissue of "(Who's Afraid Of?) The Art Of Noise!" on vinyl since the 1985 pressing.

As per the album's 1984 pressing, the back cover lists the tracks in a different order to their actual sequencing on the album. The correct playing order is stated on the labels. Unlike the original issue, track A3 is suffixed "(Edited)" on the label.

The contents of the second disc were previously released as CD3 of the 4CD boxed set "And What Have You Done With My Body, God?" in 2006. Tracks D4 to D6 are incorrectly prefixed "The Ambassador Reel" on this release; on the boxed set they are prefixed "The Ambassador's Reel". D5 is suffixed "Another Time To Hear"; on the boxed set the suffix is "Medley". D8 is unlisted on this release; the title is given on the boxed set.

The second disc is given the code ZTIS 346.

Track durations are not stated on the release.

    I wouldn't call the first disc a disaster, but, Yes - the original vinyl album does sound better - more punch, more nuances and subtlety. If you are after the album itself, I would avoid this edition, but, I guess most of us are dedicated aficionados, so a second disc which hasn't been issued on vinyl before is enough - but I woun't listen to the first disc here ever again.
    Ps. I do enjoy the second disc.

      I like the sound of this release…but yeah the vinyl pressing could have been better. Definitely needs a wash to lessen the noise - which is greatly improved afterwards.

        Mediocre pressing. Sounds thin compared to earlier pressings. Disappointing. I would avoid.

          Opened to find only one disc inside; what a pile of crap 💩

            Great re-issue, right, there are a little clicks and sand there and there on second LP but it’s not too crucial. Wonderful packaging, feels good in your hands. Recommended.

                Disc one is excellent, disc two is constant crackle like an open fireplace
