Colourbox is the only full-length studio album from Colourbox, released by 4AD in August 1985.[2] CAD 508 is the album's catalogue number, used to distinguish it from the earlier mini-album of the same name. The first 10,000 copies of the vinyl LP came with a bonus LP MAD 509.[3] The CD release included the first side of the bonus LP.[4] The album was preceded by the singles "Say You" in March 1984, "Punch" in June 1984, and "The Moon Is Blue" in July 1985.[5]
