"Stronger Silence" (1981) - Helter Skelter records design.
"Fatal Slide" (1982) - Helter Skelter records design.
Introduction
"Helter Skelter Records" reissued two albums from The Reds and combined them on a single compact disc (the precise release date of the Helter Skelter edition is unknown, but one assumes it was produced some time during the 1990's..)
The albums included were "Stronger Silence" and "Fatal Slide".
In a clever piece of packaging design, the front sleeve was reversible and featured both original cover designs (each "side" is illustrated on this page). The strong monochrome artwork was backed up by a printed CD surface, which featured a small photograph of each of the (then four) band members.
Some years ago, manhunter.net was fortunate enough to purchase an original copy of this collectable release (from "101cd.com"). However, this site no longer offers the CD. In actual fact, even The Reds themselves have it listed as "Out Of Stock" on the official Reds shop! :-/
