Notes
Despite bearing 1986 copyright dates, this compilation didn't debut in the UK until 23 February 1987. It's unlikely that any other editions are from earlier than this.

- Got this on sale and it's a great sounding pressing. Nothing to compare it to, but it sounds top to my ears.
- Edited 11 months agoThis is a really good sounding pressing, I have the original UK single album and compared both pressings. This 2016 double album has a very nice warm bass sound that the original was lacking. Dont hesitate on this pressing, it's beautifully packaged with original inserts.
- Craig Gannon not credited here for exact songs he was credited on Louder Than Bombs for: Half A Person, London, Panic, You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby, and Ask.
- Excellent sounding vinyl...similar to my UK pressing. This irish pressing is quite rare and difficult to source in good condition.
referencing The World Won't Listen (LP, Compilation) MD 7940
The Queen is Dead, Mear is Murder, compiled parts in this album- Bought new and played endlessly going to and from school. Still plays perfectly and sounds fantastic. Cherished as it reminds me of better easier times.
- Edited 2 years agoDecent enough pressing, and great to have this as a double LP, but they used the album version of The Boy With The Thorn In His Side!
- Edited 2 years agoMy copy sounds great! Flat and quiet vinyl, no sibilance, really well done, get one now because I fear it will go up in price soon....
- As much as I love owning the 2LP Oz gatefold, the sound is nothing to write home about. Very thin and reedy - maybe one too many tracks on each side?
