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. For the initial LP release, a limited number of the albums included a free 7" EP included with purchase (containing three demo tracks: "Forever Laughing", "Falling on My Face" and "The Last Detail"). The album was then reissued on CD in 1988 as an expanded edition with a different track order, containing most of the original tracks plus rerecorded versions (for example, "If Only '88") and "A Kiss Goodbye" from the Happy Now EP (the latter was not included on the original LP)

At the time the material was recorded, the band was a quartet, and had a guitar-oriented sound; at times resembling New Order, Joy Division, Nick Cave, and Pornography-era Cure. The album was produced by New Order's engineer Michael Johnson, except for "Forever Dancing" and "If Only '87", which were produced by the band themselves.

This album has sometimes been referred to as a compilation album, since it actually compiles all the singles and related B-sides previously released by the band between April 1986 and August 1987. The CD edition includes all of the group's early singles ("A Hundred Words", "This Means War" and the double A-side "Surprise Me"/"Forever Dancing") as well as the Happy Now EP, all of which made the Top 30 on the UK Indie Chart, but failed to reach the UK Top 75. Although Where It Is does not include any lyric sheet, and features spare, black and white cover art, each song is neatly accompanied by essential notes including recording and release dates. It didn't chart on the UK Albums Chart, but it reached Number 17 on the UK Indie Chart.[2]
