Discography & Memorabilia Concerning No Protection Starting With Retail Versions and Proceeding To Promo Versions

Chart Info:

No Protection achieved it's highest UK albums chart position of #10 on it's first week of release and would remain in the charts for a another four weeks. No Protection was also released almost simultaneously around the world in regions such as the USA, Europe, Austrailia, South America. These regional retail releases will not be catalogued here as the differences between them and the UK version is negilible. The only regional release that is catalogued is the Japanese version (re-issued several years after 1995) as it's packaging is unique.

When it was released I brought the 12" vinyl version of the No Protection LP and found it had side B of Blue Lines on its B-side! I've still got it - when I went back to the shop I was told was pressed wrong and re-called. Just wanted to mention it here.
