Recording info & notes
|
Boxed set comprising the 4 singles released on Rough Trade in miniature duplicate card sleeves, plus booklet. See respective singles for full details. On the original pressing of the box set, the versions of Container Drivers & New Puritan on CD5 were the album versions from Grotesque and Totale's Turns respectively, not the John Peel session versions that appeared on the original 7" single. This was due to initial difficulties in obtaining clearance from the BBC for the use of those session recordings. Later pressings have the correct John Peel session versions. There is nothing to visibly distinguish the different pressings.
