Notes
With a lilac band picture on the inner sleeve. This is the original UK issue pressed in 1978. There is speculation that the record is identical to those with the black and white inner that was distributed immediately after this, because Wire intended the inner to be black and white and thus had the lilac inner replaced.

weird that is says sept 8th 1978. Ive seen It posted as released on august 1st other places . any nerd out there know ? I only ask because aug 1 1978 is my birthday , so I've always dug that this was released on the same day I was ... I believe! -

Still one of my all-time favourite albums since I heard it about 1978!!!! But 154 is even better and all of the first three albums should be in any essential collections. Each one a bonafide masterpiece.
