Far Away in Time was a 1987 CD compilation of tracks by Martha and the Muffins. The compilation consisted of Metro Music (the band's first album) in its entirety (tracks 1-10), plus four tracks from Trance and Dance (tracks 12-15), two tracks from This is the Ice Age (tracks 16-17), and the non-album single "Insect Love"[2] (track 11).
The album was compiled without any input from the band,[3] and the poorly researched liner notes by Jon Hotten (on the 1993 re-issue) contain numerous errors about the history of the band's various line-ups, as well as several errors about the origins of the tracks on this compilation. The correct information is listed above.
