Repeat Performance is the second compilation album of the English progressive rock group Van der Graaf Generator, released in 1980, covering their first incarnation under contract with Charisma Records from 1969 through to 1972.[3]
It draws from the albums The Aerosol Grey Machine (1969), The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other (1970) and H to He, Who Am the Only One (1970) and Pawn Hearts (1971). Also included are the single only B-sides "Boat of Millions of Years" and "W", and a single version of "Refugees". This single version was a different recording than that on The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other, and was released on a 7" and a 10" single in 2 different mixes. The one featured here is the rare 10" mix, which was released on CD so far only on the compilation I Prophesy Disaster (1993).
The cassette issue in the UK contains an otherwise unreleased bonus track titled
4. "The Clot Thickens" which is a section of "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" on Pawn Hearts, but goes on here a few seconds longer.[4]
