Notes
Originally released as a limited-edition (five hundred copies) LP in 1976 which was sent to a selection of filmmakers for possible inclusion in their work.
The album has manifested in several forms, featuring different track-listings and track-times.
1 : Promotional LP, 1976 (the Director's Edition), issued in a limited number of 500 copies. There are two versions:
A test pressing with 25 tracks (where the titles are not given).
Official release with 27 tracks. Many of those tracks were taken from Another Green World or appeared later on the official 1978 issue. Essentially all of the 'unreleased' tracks are available on the Music for Fans, Vol. 1 bootleg and – rather more officially – on the Eno Instrumental Box Set.
2 : Original 1978 release. The LP packaging featured a matte finish on the outside with a glossy finish on the inside, opposite of standard LP covers at the time.
3 : Editions EG reissue. The tracks were rearranged into what Eno felt was a more satisfactory sequence. This is now the "standard" issue. (Note : the cassette version of the Editions EG reissue used the track order from the original 1978 version, though the packaging listed the tracks in the rearranged order.)

my vinyl copy, which i bought in the early 80s in , has a flase pressing...side 1 is correct, side 2 has the tracks of side 2 of "4th world vol.1/possible musics" by jon hassell/brian eno....i discovered this years later, when i got the "possible musics" album.
is here someone else, who has this pressing? maby it is a really rare one? -
Quite an interesting record! Never knew it existed until Burning Shed put some copies of this for sale!
Very interesting how it contains some known tracks but which were under different names. Highly recommend for any Eno collector! -
One can ear in "Music For Films" some of the instruments, effects and atmospheres that were used and created in "Low" or "Heroes", well, principally in "Low", which was recorded around the same time. Still, "Music For Films" is less finite.
