Notes

A very good sounding FM broadcast. I used Black Celebration, A Question Of Time, It's Called A Heart, and Master And Servant from the "Rated PG" bootleg to replace the ones on the tape as those tracks are sourced from the master tape of this FM broadcast recording. 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.
