What the label says:

Out of print on CD for 3 years, and unavailable on vinyl since the 1980s, the hugely influential MISSION OF BURMA debut record is back with some remarkable extras, including unreleased studio tracks, a DVD of concert footage from 1979 and 1980 and a thick booklet with interviews and ephemera. Remastered from the original analog tapes, ‘Signals, Calls & Marches’ contains their best-known song "That's When I Reach For My Revolver", their anthemic 1979 debut single "Academy Fight Song” / “Max Ernst,” plus 2 unreleased songs from that session, "Execution" and "Devotion." Both are classics, and a fascinating window into their early days. The deluxe gatefold vinyl has been re-cut ALL-ANALOG from the original half-inch tapes by George Marino at Sterling Sound. The vinyl recut served as the basis for the CD remaster, and the results are stunning. THE DEFINITIVE EDITION+ DVD. 2 unreleased songs from the first 1979 session. Bonus DVD contains concert footage at The Space and The Underground in Boston 1979-1980. Vinyl is true all-analog, re-cut in person by George Marino at Sterling Sound.
