  1. After the Fact

    After the Fact is the first compilation album released by English new wave band Magazine. It was released in 1982 in the year following the dissolution of the band in late 1981. The compilation draws from tracks from each of the band's studio albums and several singles. It was originally released as a Vinyl LP in 1982. A CD was released in 1989. The artwork was produced by Malcolm Garrett with liner notes by Paul Morley. International and US editions of the compilation differ greatly, sharing only four songs between them. The Virgin Records international edition has ten tracks and was released in a green sleeve and included only material from the group's four studio albums. No B-sides of singles mixes are featured. The I.R.S. Records US edition has thirteen tracks and was released in a red sleeve. This version included songs that hadn't previously been released in the US, the majority of which were b-sides and alternate single mixes. The US edition was released on CD in 1989, and is at present the only Magazine CD compilation to feature the 7" edit of the 1981 single "About the Weather".
