Reviews & Opinions

Contents: The Diodes (AOF245, pink vinyl); Released (AOF246, red vinyl); Action-Reaction (AOF247, turquoise vinyl, includes download card); Rarities (AOF248, clear vinyl), Rarities CD (AOF248). All of these albums were also issued individually. The Diodes is the same as the original LP but had two bonus tracks, 'Noise' and Headache'; On Released, 'Red Rubber Ball' (which is on the debut LP) is replaced by 'Burn Down Your Daddy's House' (which should have been the opening track when first released). And 'Survivors' is added to Action-Reaction.
