Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing includes a bonus LP containing six bonus tracks including the extended versions of the singles 'Don't Talk To Me About Love' and 'Bring Me Closer' plus an alternative studio recording of 'Another Lost Look'. 'Surprise Me', 'I Don't Want To Know' and 'Thinking About You' make up the final three songs on the second disc. After the success of the bands previous two albums Happy Birthday and Pinky Blue, Bite saw a change in musical direction. Gone was the earlier post punk sound and now the songs were becoming far more polished with a pure pop pedigree. To that end Mike Chapman and Tony Visconti were brought in to produce the album. Mike Chapman had produced Blondie's Parallel Lines album and Tony Visconti had been working with David Bowie, so the duo's involvement was seen by many as a move to bring the band to the forefront of the post punk '80s pop scene. The band also underwent some personnel changes with Stephen Lironi joining the band as drummer. The album spawned one of the bands biggest hits in 'Don't Talk To Me About Love' which reached #7 in the UK chart. The album contains many highlights and is still heralded by many fans as a great pop album.
