Sleeve by Frank Booth. notes: The lp version was initially issued as a limited edition on blue vinyl. "Thief of Fire" / "Thief (Motherfucker)" is a cover of a song by The Pop Group. "Mother Sky" is a cover of a song by Can. The run off grooves on this and ETERNAL are identical. In fact, the Reactor edition appears to be have been struck from the old Chapter 22 master with the catalogue numbers scratched out. run off groove on both sides: "ADRENALIN"
	PRISMA UBER EUROPA 12"	? 1991; (bootleg of unknown origin) LOOP.90	Afterglow Got To Get It Over Burning World	production: no information given notes: Title information is given in blue ink on a sticker pasted to the upper right hand corner of the sleeve. The tracks "Afterglow" and "Got To Get It Over" are the same live versions that appear on the "EDIZIONE LIMITATA DI 1000 COPIE" double lp / cd. The version of "Burning World" seems to be an alternate studio version that runs approx. 4 minutes longer than the version that appears on the 16 Dreams 12" and THE WORLD IN YOUR EYES lp, and may be an early mix of "Burning Prisma."
	"EDIZIONE LIMITATA DI 1000 COPIE" double lp / cd	1992; (bootleg of Italian origin) IF 001 IF 001 CD	Breathe Pulse From Centre Feverknife Afterglow Black Sun The Nail Will Burn Fade Out Arclight Got to Get It Over Burning World Mother Sky	production: no information given notes: "Edizone Limitata di 1000 Copie". Appears to be the complete concert from which "Got To Get It Over (Live)" from Dual was extracted. Oddly enough, the sound on this is vastly superior to the version from DUAL (provided that they are, in fact, from the same show). As a matter of opinion, these live versions are given a much more muscular workout than the studio versions, at least as far as the tracks from A GILDED ETERNITY are concerned. "Mother Sky" is a cover of a song by Can.
	INDIE TOP 20 VOLUME 6: PRIDE OF THE INDEPENDENTS lp / cd	1989; Beechwood Music through The Cartel TT06LP TT06CD	Black Sun	production: as on FADE OUT. notes: from the booklet, "From the L.P. 'FADE OUT', Loop take the blow torch and petrol cans to music and deliver their most powerful single yet". As a curious sidenote, this volume of the Indie Top 20 only includes 19 tracks--go figure.
	SNIFFIN' ROCK 7"	1989; Sniffin' Rock Sniffin' Rock-005A7	Pulse (previously unreleased)	production: presumably the same as on FADE OUT. notes: This is a free 7" accompanying Issue 8 of the UK fanzine, Sniffin' Rock. Loop are one of three bands (the other two are Gaye Bikers on Acid and The Abs) appearing. The magazine also contains an interview with Robert Hampson. It is unclear why "Pulse" is listed as "previously unreleased" as the magazine came out approximately 4 months after FADE OUT was released in the UK.
	THE BRIDGE: A TRIBUTE TO NEIL YOUNG lp / cd	1989; Caroline CAROL LP1374 / KAR LP 002 CAROL CD1374 / KAR CD 002	Cinnamon Girl	production: by Paul Kendall and Loop. Engineered by Paul Kendall.

The record consists of various artists performing Neil Young covers.
	GIGANTIC 2 cd	1990(?); Melody Maker / Rough Trade MM RT CD002	Blood	production: as on A GILDED ETERNITY. notes: This version is identical to the one on A GILDED ETERNITY. This is a compilation of bands released by Rough Trade in connection with Melody Maker magazine. The booklet has a page on Loop that contains the following: "Diving further into their own heart land, Loop irrigate, irritate and alienate in such a way that you have to shield your retinas as the arc of the comet approaches. MM August, 89".
	INDIE TOP 20 VOLUME 8 lp / cd	1990; Beechwood Music through The Cartel TT08LP TT08CS (?) TT08CD	Arc-Lite	production: as on A GILDED ETERNITY. notes: from the booklet "Volume 8 of this unique series features 19 of the best independent Hit Singles from recent British Independent Charts; demonstrating what is really happening in music today." The booklet contains the following with the Loop entry: ""Arc-Lite captures the noise of a motorbike chain deep in swampland and revving into the red, a frictional mesh of metal and rock that won't rub down. Like nothing on earth and out of this world." - Melody Maker 2.12.89"
	A HISTORICAL DEBT lp / cd	1991; Beechwood Music through The Cartel HIST1LP HIST1CD	Arc-Lite	production: as on A GILDED ETERNITY. notes: This compilation was assembled and released in order to try and defray some of the enormous debts accrued by Rough Trade Distribution throughout the 1980s (it is an interesting tale, that of Rough Trade, but as there are other, more informed sources, we'll leave it to them to tell you. Suffice to say that all the tracks included here were donated and the package is a "no-frills" affair--no information about the tracks themselves save the songwriting credits and copyright data. There are no run off grooves on either side.
	THE TYRANNY OF THE BEAT cd	1991; Mute? ? 1991; Mute manufactured and distributed by Elektra, a division of Warner Entertainment MUTE 9 61237-2	Collision	production: as on Collision 12". notes: Compilation of artists on Mute Records. Limited edition of 2000 includes a video cassette with some live and some staged videos by artists on the cd. US edition contains the video for "Collision" which is not on the UK version. The video was produced and directed by Angus Cameron.
	NEW SEASON double lp / cd	1991; Strange Fruit SFRLP 205 ?	Soundhead	production: as on WOLF FLOW. According to the sleeve notes, the session at which this was recorded took place on 11 August, 1987. notes: Compilation of tracks from various BBC Radio 1 sessions. The only Loop-relevant text on the sleeve (written by John Reed of Record Collector) states "Loop's crawling mantra, an overdriven, hypnotic rock formula that echoes both Can and MC5, comes no finer than "Soundhead" from their 1987 session." There are no run off grooves on either side.
	THE COLLECTION double cd	1991; Beggars Banquet SPV 07605452	Arc-Lite	production: as on A GILDED ETERNITY notes: Compilation of various artists on the Beggars Banquet label.
	BRITTLE DAYS: A TRIBUTE TO NICK DRAKE lp / cd	1992; Imaginary Records ? ILLCD 026	Pink Moon	production: no information given notes: Compilation of various artists performing Nick Drake covers.
	"PROGRESSION" RAPE CRISIS cd	1994; Progression Records PROG 29CD	Pulse (Live)	production: no information given notes: The booklet says "Recorded live God knows where in 1989. Courtesy of Reactor." Compilation designed to raise funds for rape crisis centers throughout Britain. Features 19 other artists in addition to Loop.
	PSPYCHED! cd	1999; Beggar's Banquet BBP2024CD	Arc-Lite	production: as on A GILDED ETERNITY. notes: Compilation of artists on Beggars Banquet Records. The booklet contains the following text: "Robert Hampson-guitar, vocals; Neil MacKay-bass; John Wills-drums. "The ideal gig for us is to have everybody locked in, with no bar to retreat to." Loop were best experienced live. No two gigs were ever the same, no song ever played the same twice. To them volume was vital to the whole experience. Loop live were 'felt' not just seen or heard! A total assault on the senses."
