Notes

A very good sounding FM broadcast. Before I sent darkdevoted's tapes back to him, I retransferred his 2nd gen copy of this FM broadcast since the Onkyo tape deck I used for the original transfer is inferior sounding due to lack of proper service. I used Black Celebration, A Question Of Time, It's Called A Heart, and Master And Servant to replace the ones on the tape as those tracks are sourced from the master tape of this FM broadcast recording - they are the bonus tracks that appear on the "Rated PG" bootleg. electropop was kind enough to supply a very good sounding source of Shake The Disease which is probably from a different broadcast, so I slotted that in as it would appear in the setlist, after A Question Of Time.

Many thanks to darkdevoted for lending me this cassette last year.
