Expanded ep or compilation by Australian Crawl. The band released an ep with the same title and cover containing just four songs but that album was soon reissued in a heavily expanded edition for the American market. The original Australian version has a playing order (1-4) with the tracks #5, #9, #7, and #4 on the American issue. The additional tracks are re-recorded compositions taken from the band's debut album The Boys Light Up (1980) and the second album Sirocco from (1981), which from my pov makes it a compilation.
