Notes

Design: Anthony Wilson and Peter Saville

Anthony Wilson explains the thinking behind the Factory catalogue number for this release: "It was only when we did the next album that we said 'Well what's this going to be? Well that one was 14, well this could be 24'. And the fact that the second album that Vini was on, was a four sides, with four artists. Two albums, four artists, it was like 'Oh look, 24!' Four artists, two vinyl, how appropriate."

A boxed cassette release was planned (light green colour designation as per a Factory/Ikon advertisement from 1986) but never issued.
