Numbers

Whack Numbers

WHACK numbers are a system by which official Sneaky Sound System releases are chronologically ordered (much like that of Nine Inch Nails' Halo system). They correspond to the sequence in which the releases were made, and are named by the word "WHACK," which precedes the number on the release. WHACK numbers are sometimes modified for alternate versions of a release, such as the multiple releases of Sneaky Sound System. Promotional-only releases do not have their own WHACK numbers.

WHACKV

WHACKV numbers are a system by which official Sneaky Sound System vinyl releases are chronologically ordered. They correspond to the sequence in which the releases were made, and are named by the word "WHACKV," which precedes the number on the release.

SNEAK numbers

SNEAK numbers are another system to catalog Sneaky Sound System releases, similar to the WHACK system used for major releases. Although it is used in the same manner as the WHACK numbers, SNEAK numbers have only seemed to be found on the UK releases.
