Tattooed Beat Messiah is the 1988 debut full-length studio release by Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction. Engineered by Femi Jiya and Mark Freegard. Mixed by Nigel Green. The album reached #132 on the US Billboard 200 and #20 on the UK album charts in March 1988 supported by music videos for the "Prime Mover" (single, April 1987), "Backseat Education" (single, October 1987, UK #49), and "Planet Girl" (single, March 1988, UK #63). Tracks included on the album that had been released in 1987 were remixed for inclusion on the album.[1] "Prime Mover" would be the band's most successful single reaching #18 on the UK singles charts in May 1987,[2] well in advance of the eventual album release. The single also charted in New Zealand hitting #12.[3]

The album was reissued in January 1998 as "The Best of Zodiac Mindwarp" including the "Born To Be Wild" track. Rock Candy Records [4] issued a 24-bit remastered version of the album in August 2007 including the 9 tracks that had originally been used as singles B-sides.
