The album was also re-released on cassette with bonus tracks in October 1982 with the additional title 'Special Edition Double Play'.

[6] Assemblage was one of the first of numerous Japan compilations issued by Hansa/BMG Ariola/Sony BMG, but remains the only one originally released in consultation with the band members themselves.

Coincidentally, the titles of five of the ten songs refer to geographical locations (namely Communist China, Rhodesia, Berlin, Tokyo, and Europe).

Assemblage was reissued on CD by Sony BMG Music Entertainment in 2004, then including four bonus tracks as well as two videos.

Initial pressings of this reissue accidentally omit the first bass note of "Adolescent Sex" and include an incorrect bonus version of "Life in Tokyo."

The sixth and final single was a cover of The Velvet Underground and Nico's "All Tomorrow's Parties", released in February 1983.

The original version was included on Quiet Life and the 1983 release is a remix by Steve Nye and it peaked at number 38 in the UK.

The first bonus track, however, is an alternate mix of "Life in Tokyo" by its producer Giorgio Moroder, lasting 6:17, which was previously unreleased.
