Notes

This was originally released in 1980 as VD 2512, a reissue of 'Metal Box' (1979). Although the specific release date does not appear on the item, PIL's website places it in 1987.

Tracklist is the same as 'Metal Box', except 'No Birds' & 'Socialist' have been swapped in the running order.
'Swan Lake' (aka 'Death Disco') is a slightly different mix to the 7" with extra synth at the very end.
'Memories' is also a different mix to the single... 'No Birds' (aka 'No Birds Do Sing') is the same version as the B-side of the 'Death Disco' 7".
'Graveyard' is an instrumental version of 'Another' from the 'Memories' single.

Gatefold Jacket (lyrics appear on the back) but no track listings.
