Notes
  • The CD packaging replicates the original vinyl releases with the original vinyl inner sleeves serving as inserts for the CD slipcases.
  • Heartbeat City in this box set is now released with white color borders instead of the original maroon, this change in color is what the band originally intended for the original release.
gollark: I'm mostly resigned to the fact that most countries around have horrible flaws of some kind.
gollark: But bizarrely indirected and still referred to as debt everywhere even though something like 2/3 of the time it isn't paid off.
gollark: It's effectively a 30-year tax on graduate incomes.
gollark: Also, the UK's situation with universities is vaguely weird, because student debt doesn't actually work like other debt.
gollark: There have been many. ish.
