Originally released: 24th October 1983 (US), March 1984 (UK) A collaboration between Ant and Richard Scott Produced by Trevor Vallis, Anthony Phillips & Richard Scott Invisible Men was first re-issued on CD by Virgin Records in 1991 and for that release Ant chose to change the running order of the album to the originally intended one rather than the order used on the vinyl release. In addition, three extra tracks (Trail of Tears, The Ballad of Penlee and Alex) were also included. For the 2 CD Expanded Edition released by Esoteric Recordings in October 2017, the running order from the Virgin CD has been retained but the extra track of Alex on CD One has been replaced by the full instrumental version of the track recorded at Atmosphere Studios. In addition, CD Two (subtitled Out-takes & Demos) contains 16 previously unreleased tracks from the Invisible Men era. |
