Signals, Calls and Marches (1981) Vs. (1982)

Signals, Calls, and Marches is the first EP by Boston band Mission of Burma. It contains some of the songs which founded Mission of Burma's reputation as a seminal rock group of the early 1980s, especially "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" and "This Is Not a Photograph". For the CD re-issue, the six songs were remastered in 1996 and complemented by the two tracks from MoB's debut 7" single. The EP is also being remastered by Matador Records for a release in March 18, 2008 with video material and extra tracks along with the other albums in the catalogue of their Ace of Hearts era ^[1].
