Vengeance is the debut studio album by English rock band New Model Army, originally released on 4 April 1984 by the independent label Abstract Records. Following the band performing "Christian Militia" and "Small Town England" live on the Channel 4 programme The Tube, the album entered the UK Indie Chart at #1. The album was later re-released on CD as Vengeance – The Independent Story in 1987 expanded with the band's early singles, as well as the further expanded Vengeance – The Whole Story 1980–84 in 2012 including their radio sessions and early demos on a second CD. Singles Singles included on the re-issue are the pre-album releases "Bittersweet" (backed with "Betcha" and "Tension") and "Great Expectations" (backed with "Waiting"), and the post-album single "The Price" (backed with "1984" and "No Man's Land"). Versions The album was originally released in the UK in 1984 as a mini-LP.
