Whose Side Are You On? was the first album by Matt Bianco. Released in 1984, the title has long been out of print in most territories. For this album, Matt Bianco was a trio of Basia Trzetrzelewska (vocals), Mark Reilly (vocals), and Danny White (keyboards).
This album contains the band's first five chart UK hits, including "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed", "Sneaking Out the Back Door", "Matt's Mood", "Half a Minute" and "More Than I Can Bear". All are sung by Trzetrzelewska and Reilly, except "Matt's Mood" which is an instrumental.
The original vinyl record featured 10 tracks. The tape edition had 12 tracks, adding two bonus tracks: the 12" version of "Big Rosie" (B-side of the band's debut 12" "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed"), and "The Other Side", the instrumental B-side of the 7" single "Whose Side Are You On?". Additionally, the versions of "More Than I Can Bear", "Half a Minute", "Matt’s Mood", "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed" and "Sneaking Out the Back Door" on the tape are different from the versions heard on the vinyl/CD edition.
The CD edition was released slightly later, and was one of the earliest pop music compact discs to be released in the music industry.
All songs by Reilly/White except "Whose Side Are You On?" by Reilly/White/Ross, and "Half a Minute" by Reilly/White/Poncioni.
All songs by Reilly/White except "Whose Side Are You On?" by Reilly/White/Ross; "Half a Minute" and "Big Rosie" by Reilly/White/Poncioni.
