Originally released in the '80s / 1990, on the Chapter 22 / Head / Situation 2 labels:16 Dreams 12" (Head) released 1986Spinning 7" /12" (Head) released 1987Collision 7"/12" (Chapter 22) released 1988Black Sun 12" (Chapter 22) released 1988Arc-Lite 7"/12"/CD5 (Situation 2) released 1989Primsma Uber Europa 12" (Beggars) released 1991 (Live Promo only) Remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Metcalf and then reissued for the first time in 2009 as part of the World In Your Eyes 3CD set on Reactor.Now remastered for vinyl and re-cut to lacquers by Shawn Joseph / Optimum Mastering and issued as Twelves. (ref: the 3 x 7" set Sevens released 2020)Each side of this 3LP set has one of the 12"s in full, as well as the promo only Live 12-inch Prisma Uber Europa. The 12-inch cover of each LP has the relevant sleeve on each side to recreate the original sleeve image, and each 12-inch side has labels as close to the original designs as possible. Hear Loop expand their sound from the Stooges / Velvets / garage pyschout of 16 Dreams, into the Spinning era and then develop their motorik fuzzed-out nihilistic pummel through the Collision and Black Sun EPs to finish this set with the Arc-Lite side, possibly Loop at their most visceral. Unable to be pigeon holed like most bands of this time, their live shows also wiped the floor with everyone as evidenced on the Prisma Uber Europa 12". Not reissued on vinyl when first remastered, now it's time. PLAY LOUD
