This double vinyl LP (with a limited edition of 600 copies) collects 28 tracks from the period 1981-1988 which appeared on singles or on compilations, or were never released before. In some cases the sound quality is rather poor, but these titles were chosen to give a more complete survey of that period. A Collection Of Isolated Tracks 1982-1988 was previously released on CD by Apocalyptic Vision in 1995 and contained 15 tracks plus a booklet with photos and texts about Clair Obscur's past performances (see here). This new release by Vinyl On Demand (VOD 41) includes 13 more titles previously unpublished or appearing on compilations. All tracks have been re-mastered for vinyl. Cover design by P. Nicolas Ledoux (Labomatic). Photo by Beauzée-Lhuyssen. Other tracks of the period 1981-1988 can be found on the CDs Play. and In Out both re-released by Infrastition in 2004.
