Notes

Edition of 3000 box set with two LPs in printed inner sleeves, four prints showing artists from the Compact roster, two posters, a letter from Tot Taylor's alter ego Rex Luxore, a Compact Organization business card and a badge. It seems that additionally, all copies came at least with one randomly choosen 7" record from the Compact catalogue (not mentioned anywhere on release, hence not added to the track list).
