FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – this is the 1985 Belgian release on Scarface (FACE 15), licensed from Nettwerk, recognisable by the etched matrices "FACE 15-A1 FOON" / "FACE 15-B1".

Are "Smothered Hope" or "Glass Houses" on this LP?
No – these songs are not on the "Bites" vinyl LP. The LP has eight tracks, including "Assimilate" and "Deadlines".

What does Media VG+ / Sleeve VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback; the sleeve has a crease in the top left corner. More in our Vinyl Grading guide.
