Liner notes

"The music on this album was written during the latter part of 1978 and recorded at intervals between February and June of 1979. That it is only now publicly available I find ironic. Nevertheless, I am pleased that these tracks, which constitute approximately two thirds of the total material recorded for this album, have finally been aquitted ... by mirrors if not justice. Bill Nelson. March 1981." Recorded using 'The Mobile Studio' on location in Yorkshire. Mixing realised at Air Studios, London. 'Life Runs Out Like Sand' and 'Disposable' were recorded and mixed at R.A.K. Studios, London. 'U.H.F.' engineered at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth, South Wales. 'Youth Of Nation On Fire' engineered at 'September Sound Studios', Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Tracks 9 and 10 are different than on the [1986 UK CD](/release/2753746). Packaged in a standard jewel case with an 8-panel folded insert. Track durations are not printed on the release.
