April 1988 (CD) Where It Is is the debut album by British new wave band The Beloved, first released as a vinyl LP in October 1987 on the Flim Flam Productions label.
It was the only album the band released as a new wave, guitar-oriented quartet before the line-up halved and they transitioned to a house/alternative dance sound.
It is mostly considered to be a compilation album (including by the band themselves), since it compiles most of the singles and related B-side tracks the band released between April 1986 and June 1987, along with tracks from the Happy Now EP (albeit with one, "Righteous Me", being a re-recording).
[2] For the initial LP release, a limited number of the albums included a free 7-inch EP included with purchase (containing three demos: "Forever Laughing", "Falling on My Face" and "The Last Detail").
The album was remastered and re-released on 31 January 2020 as a 2-CD set by New State Music.
