35th Anniversary Deluxe triple vinyl gatefold edition pressed on colour splatter vinyl with printed inners.

Medium Medium's debut album, The Glitterhouse, was originally released on Cherry Red in October 1981. This reissue features the "Hungry, So Angry," single version which was produced by Adrian Sherwood at Berry Street Studio in London.

Also included is a selection of tracks from Cherry Red's 2001 Hungry, So Angry retrospective compilation album, the B-side of the band's debut single on Apt and a previously unreleased demo version of a song from the 1982 Sound-Products EP. It includes a bonus EP featuring previously unreleased tracks from the 2008 Village recording session. All of the various line-ups of Medium Medium are represented.

Formed at the end of 1978, Medium Medium's self-described "extreme dance music" had reviewers scrambling to draw comparisons with the band's contemporaries and find a label for its post punk sound.

Medium Medium's solid dance rhythms and chaotic, chiming guitar were superficially reminiscent of the Gang of Four and Talking Heads, but Rees's tangential sax playing and Graham's tape and keyboard interjections from the front-of-house mixing desk took Medium Medium in another direction.
