Archive Cardiacs (or simply Archive) is a compilation album by English rock band Cardiacs. The album is composed of early tracks by the band recorded from 1977 to 1979.[3][4][5] The tracks were compiled from Cardiacs' demo albums The Obvious Identity (1980) and Toy World (1981), as well as four pieces recorded by Tim Smith and Dominic Luckman for a side project that never saw fruition.[6]
The album was originally released on cassette in 1989 exclusively available to the Cardiacs Yousletter Family and was reissued on CD in 1995.[7][6]
