The celebrations begin with this expanded 3CD deluxe digipak which collects their first three albums; 'World Salad' (1979), 'Going Deaf For A Living' (1980) and 'Red Skies Over Paradise' (1981), originally released on United Artists and Liberty. This expanded collection is completed by a selection of bonus tracks from each album's original release.
