Eponymous 1981-1983

~ Release by The Alarm (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

A 5 song EP turned into 22 songs and 78 minutes comes reedition time, the content is slightly repetitive (more so if you also own Declaration) but surprisingly instructive and even the unknown songs make for a fine listen ("Across The Border", based on a simple hard rock riff, being the most surprising discovery).
