The church remote luxury full album


Remote Luxury is the first compilation album by the Australian psychedelic rock band The Church, released in 1984. The band had recently signed to Warner Bros. in the United States and their new label decided to re-release the band's most recent Australian material, the Persia and Remote Luxury EPs, as an album with a new running order. They also released "Constant In Opal" as a single in the U.S.. The version of "No Explanation" included here has a 20-second instrumental jam at the beginning.

The album was re-released on CD by Arista Records in 1990, but has since been deleted.

In 2001, EMI Australia released the compilation album Sing-Songs//Remote Luxury//Persia, which contained remastered versions of all the tracks from the EPs in their original running order.
