On 11 October 1962, the Beatles' first single for EMI, Love Me Do, entered the UK charts. Four days later, the Cuban missile crisis began, when a US reconnaissance plane spotted Soviet missile bases in Cuba. Spanning 1945 to 1969, it focuses on "cold war music from the golden age of homeland security". As the cold war escalated, the possibility of nuclear annihilation seemed less and less remote.

1982 First UK release: Venice in Peril CBS/Sony VIP 1001. This version includes the original UK album tracks, in sequence, as tracks 1-9. Bonus tracks 10-14 were previously included on various re-issues during 1982/83/84. Tracks 16-19 are previously unreleased demo recordings.
