Front 242 - No Comment

For today's #WaxTraxFriday feature we're profiling the first Front 242 album released on Wax Trax! Records - No Comment. The album was originally released in 1985 in Belgium, Germany/Europe and the USA - collectors should look out for original releases especially those without barcodes. The original Belgian release also came pressed as a 2x12" set. Wax Trax! Records also released an extremely collectable LP with free 7" single along with super rare test pressings of both items of vinyl:
