Notes

A decent audience recording, although it sounds muffled and has some hiss throughout. The audience is quiet around the taper, contributing to the clarity of the music. I have seen this recording mistaken for an FM broadcast before, but it is definitely not one.

Blasphemous Rumours is incomplete, and the songs "New Dress," "Stripped," "Something To Do," "Master And Servant," "Boys Say Go!," and "Just Can't Get Enough" are entirely missing. Additionally, incorrect samples are played midway through A Question Of Time, giving it a strangely happy tone for most of a verse.
