    Plenty of crackle on my copy despite a proper clean, but is still an amazing sounding LP. My favourite The The album.

      Fantastic record. Really brilliant inventive new wave. Had no idea how rare it is. Got it for £1.50 from a charity shop. Nice clean copy as well.

        My version has a 'Property of CBS. Demonstration Only. Not for Sale' printed on the back cover in gold embossed writing. Is this rare?

            I look for a clean jacket for this record. Mine's done.

              Giant is a masterpiece which is slowly building up to madness... Great indie dance track fitting to: Axel Bauer: Cargo, Richard Strange: Damascus...

                I have this exact release, except the side A runout which says: 'EPC 25525 A4', and it doesn't have the "TOWN HOUSE' stamp. The B side is 'Variant #2'
