Eponymous | The Alarm – (EP)

Eponymous, as it became known, first appeared as a 12″ vinyl EP release in the USA in 1983. It was used to help promote the band’s appearance for the first time in 1983 when they played in the USA for the first time supporting U2 on the War Tour. At that point there had been no releases in the USA so the record company put together an EP from the UK single releases.
