[edit] Re-issue(s)

Article says Restless re-issued 154 on CD in 1993. It was definitely re-issued before that, but I don't have an exact date, myself. (FWIW, by late 1992 many of the Restless re-issues, including this album, were already in the cut-out bins.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:58, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

More info: the Restless CD re-issue came in a long box (Remember those? I saved part of the text from it), which would most likely put the (initial) re-issue no later than 1992. My copy (as well as that of Chairs Missing) has an additional copyright date of 1989, by EMI, suggesting that someone (if not Restless) had re-issued the album in that year. Finally, I think Mute Records may have actually been the ones who re-issued it, while Restless/Enigma licensed the rights to the Wire albums in the U.S.A. I don't have a specific reference for these, other than the copyright date, but I will at least go ahead and modify the re-issue date in the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
