1990 World Violation tour backing tapes
Notes
The backing tapes for the 1990 World Violation Tour have been circulating on unknown generation audio cassette since the early 90s. The webmaster had the opportunity to transfer a second-generation copy of the backing tapes, of which two minute excerpts of each track are provided below for your listening enjoyment. Many thanks to a kind collector for his generously lending his tapes to transfer.
Some info regarding what is audible on the backing tapes is at Shunt Q&A - LIVE - live albums / versions / performance:

On the 'World Violation' backing tapes, one can hear drums on 'Clean' and a guitar on 'Personal Jesus' mixed very low. Were they there for back-up or to flesh out the live sound or have I been imagining things?
Alan: The extra sounds you heard were never audible through the P.A. system. They were back-up sounds in case of breakdown.
Excellent sounding snippets have previously been shared online, but these have been created using the available multitracks of the songs and are not genuine backing tracks. These snippets are available to listen to at the bottom of this page for comparison purposes.
The full backing tapes cannot be shared on this wiki or DIME because they are derived from studio content.
90 second excerpts of six tracks from the 1993 Devotional Tour Backing Tapes are also available for listening. The sound quality is excellent with very little hiss.
