The 2015 Special Editions have been remastered by Tim Debney at fluid. As well as the original albums, they include all the band's EPs, non album singles and b-sides, the 'Too Much Too Young EP', 'Rat Race', 'Ghost Town' (full version), 'Friday Night, Saturday Morning' and 'Why?' (extended version);a rare, previously unreleased on CD, frenetic concert recorded for the BBC at the Paris Theatre in December 1979 plus John Peel BBC radio sessions and instrumentals of six tracks from 'In The Studio' mixed at the time, which perfectly demonstrate the album's groundbreaking experimentation.
