* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The compilation ''The Early Years'' was only available for a week before being pulled out of print for copyright reasons. It turns up occasionally, but is still sought after by fans. Their songs Special View, Garden Of Hate, New Warm Skin, Film Theme Dub and Celebrate (Extended) have never appeared on CD due to being from the Arista period (The Themes Box which collects nearly all their singles, starts with the Virgin period).
