Deceit is the second album by This Heat. Deceit is considered by many as a classic of the post-punk era and was ranked by Pitchfork Media as the 20th greatest album of the 1980s. The Trouser Press Record Guide called the album "austere, brilliant and indescribable."[1] As with other This Heat recordings, much of the album was recorded at Cold Storage, a disused refrigerated storeroom at a former meat pie factory in Acre Lane, Brixton, England.[2]
During the 1990s, intermittent availability made Deceit a rarity and a collector's item among fans. In 2006, This is! (a Recommended Records imprint) released a remastered version of Deceit as part of the 6-CD Out of Cold Storage box set. This is! also released the album as a separately available CD.
