The Thompson Twins Detailed Discography

 

The Thompson Twins Discography and Variations. During the years they were together, many different versions of Thompson Twins songs were released on vinyl and subsequent CD issues.  Many of these vinyl releases made no distinction regarding the version of the song that it contained.  To an extent, this practice continued on CD reissues.  Some CD reissues also contained new or never before released mixes of songs.

 

In an effort to denote these differences and to identify which vinyl versions are on which CD, or still never have been on CD or never been on vinyl, this page was created.  Below many of the CD releases have been itemized with notations regarding the song versions they contained, that may or may not have been indicated on the packaging.  Hopefully this will help you determine any songs missing from your own collection or that you never even realized that the songs you have, aren’t the same as the original album releases.

 

Be aware that there are probably other compilations from various countries that have been issued but I have not found.  They are not included here so it is possible that something marked as being unique to a CD, may have been issued somewhere else on some obscure vinyl or cd release.  The same is true for the tons of compilation and soundtrack albums that include a single Thompson Twins song.  It is highly likely that these compilations contain only the original single or album version that are available on the CDs below, but with the history of the Twins, who can be sure?

Title: Thompson Twins Live

Original Release Year: 1986

 

Label: Arista

LP Release Year: 1986

LP Number: TT LP1

 

Song Listing:

·         Don't Mess With Doctor Dream 4:32

·         Lay Your Hands On Me 4:38

·         You Killed The Clown 4:48

·         Love On Your Side 7:14

·         The Gap 4:51

·         Hold Me Now 7:31

 

This was a limited pressing. The back has first name autographs from Tom, Joe and Alanna. I believe all copies were autographed. The live tracks were recorded in December 1985 in Pittsburg, PA. One nice thing about this recording is they left in some of the chatting to the crowd by Tom between songs. I do not believe any of these tracks have been released on CD or on Video.

Note: The CD does not list track names.

 

The liner notes say the following: “A new listening experience!  A virtual audio recording can contain such realism that it can actually trick the brain.  In addition to audio, other human perceptions can be ‘turned on’ and experienced by the listen such as touch, smell and visual sensations.  A truly virtual audio experience! This exciting experience in psychoacoustics has tremendous potential for a new level of artistic communication and experience.”
