Meeting), the album also includes both Crépuscule singles (Sorry For Laughing,
Missionary) as well as the original Absolute version of Chance Meeting from
1979. B-side tracks are also included, plus a digital download coupon.

archive images by Simon Clegg.
"Josef K were The Sound of Young Scotland, together with Orange Juice, whose guitars were also radiant and brittle, whose rhythms were also scrubbed and blunt, whose vocals were also proud and serious, but who sounded like another group entirely." (Paul Morley)
"Josef K was about the heroic Outsider suavely surfing across the fraught surface of their albino funk fracas. Haig sounds high on anxiety, finding an odd, giddy euphoria in doubt." (Simon Reynolds)
