Eponymous, as it became known, first appeared as a 12″ vinyl EP release in the USA in 1983.
It was used to help promote the band’s appearance for the first time in 1983 when they played in the USA for the first time supporting U2 on "The War" Tour.
At that point there had been no releases in the USA so the record company put together an EP from the UK single releases.
The 12″ vinyl EP was released in:
- USA and Canada: I.R.S. Records SP-70504
- Europe: I.R.S. Records ILP 25573
There was also a cassette version released in the USA and Canada: I.R.S. Records CS70504
In 2000 as part of the "Alarm 2000" collection the songs released between 1981 and 1983 were group together as an extended CD called "The Alarm Eponymous 1981-1983 (opens in a new tab)".
