    (at the time) the owner and director. The album was released in
    September 1986, and entered the UK Independent Music chart on
    11 October 1986 and peaked at #2, spending 16 weeks on the
    chart in total.

    Of the 25 tracks, 13 are instrumental, including the title track. This


    was the first double-LP released on 4AD, and introduced the
    "DAD" (for double album) prefix into the label's catalogue.[4]
