Notes
Released in February 1980, it contains 14 tracks: 7 demo songs from a session recorded at Graveyard Studios in September 1979 (side A) and 7 songs from a gig at the Electric Ballroom on 26th October 1979 (side B), together with Joy Division and The Distractions.
The pouches come in various colours and designs:
Orange (edition of 400), with 1 button and two pockets.
Blue and red, with with 1 button and two pockets or with 2 buttons and 1 pocket.
Green and grey (can appear brown), with 1 button and two pockets.
The cassettes are either black with light grey paper labels or white/light grey with dark grey paper labels.
The back photographs either show a band member with a trumpet or with a guitar.
It's a wide-spread misconception that ACR were supporting Talking Heads on the day. However, Talking Heads only played there in December 1979. This error stems from a 1980 review in NME by Paul Morley.

referencing The Graveyard And The Ballroom (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Green Wallet) STUMM406
The Green Wallet has a metal button. It rubs the record leaving marks in the middle of that side if packed tight. Ask the shipper to open and check and throw away the blasted wallet!- "Do the Du" bassline is purloined from The Jones Girls' "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else," I think. Jones Girls' song released earlier in '79.
- To lazy to add new release, but there also exists:

The Mute website states that this is limited to 500 copies so probably best to grab one fast.- Just now noticing this version doesn't include "The Choir" on the ballroom side... weird, the new reissue on vinyl appears to.
- It seems that track 1 is identical with that from the Double 12'' EP.
Does someone know more about the tracks of both of them? - One of the greatest studio sides to come out of post-punk England,like Ian Curtis fronting James Brown's rythym section doing psychotronic soundtracks.Not since "The Man Who Sold The World" has an lp had such a visionary peek at a future bleak.
