The first album, produced by John Cale, and recorded at Fire House Studios (opens in a new tab), London in December 1986. Released in May 1987.
Initially released with track "Desmond", which borrowed heavily from "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" by The Beatles. However, the usage had not been cleared, and although Northern Songs (then-owner of The Beatles' back catalogue) had not objected, it was decided to replace the track before any issues were raised with "24 Hour Party People" taking its place from 1989 onwards.
Even though "Little Matchstick Owen's Rap" is listed on the compact disc, plastic cassette edition and boxed cassette reissue, it does not appear. This missing track is only available as the B-side of the "Tart Tart" single and the initial boxed cassette edition.
The first 1000 LP copies were issued in a transparent PVC liner, with the album titles printed on. Subsequent editions were without PVC liner.
