Shuttered Room is the debut studio album by British new wave band The Fixx, released in 1982. The biggest chart hit from the album was "Stand or Fall".
Shuttered Room has been released in a number of different configurations. Though the front cover artwork remains consistent across the releases, the tracks, track order, and even the credits can vary from release to release.
The UK version differs from the US (and later CD) release in a number of respects, including the fact that all the songs are credited to Curnin/West-Oram/Woods/Greenall/Barrett, with lyrics attributed to Cy Curnin only, and that the engineer is listed as Stephen W Tayler rather than Taylor.
On the US LP version, "Sinking Island" and " Time In A Glass" are dropped; "I Found You" and "The Strain" are added; and the track order is resequenced. All songs are credited as being written by Charlie Barrett, Cy Curnin, Rupert Greenall, and Jamie West-Oram, except where noted.
The CD version adds two tracks, (including "Sinking Island", although this is the 'Special Extended Dance Mix' originally released as the B-side on the "Red Skies" 12" single):
The 1996 European CD compiles all the tracks from the various issues onto one CD.
