Notes
Comes in a standard jewel case with a clear tray, a 4- front insert (with lyrics inside) and with pictures of original master tapes and boxes underneath the CD tray. The front insert, pg. 4, also features the cover of Things Fall Apart.
First ever CD reissue entirely from original master tapes. Pre-orders opened on the Rubellan Remasters website on 2/25/2023 with a release date of 3/10/2023. The label announced they tried to license ten bonus tracks but the two included were the only ones that could be cleared for a USA reissue.
The version of 'Things Fall Apart' included is the one found on the ‘Improved Special 1982 Edition’ of the ZE Records album, 'A Christmas Record (Special 1982 Edition)'. There, it is noted as being the ‘New Improved Lyrics’ version and has a different mix and a re-recorded vocal to that on the original 1981 release. That version remains unreleased on CD.
The version of 'Disco Clone' included is a 1981 7" remix and not the original 1978 version.

As the Rubellan site is shutting down, I asked the Wayback Machine to back up the page for this release:

This Rubellan remaster is a million times better than that awful needledropped 2004 CD. But that's a very low bar - this sounds truly excellent in its own right.

The 2023 Rubellan Remasters cd is excellent. Far superior sounding to the previous cd from 2004 which was partially vinyl sourced.
