Notes

A cassette tape of the backing tapes from the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour as well as the light-show cue / tour rehearsal tape from the 1986 Black Celebration Tour were sold on eBay in 2011 by a New Zealand eBay seller. He purchased a leather jacket from the lighting director of the 1990 World Violation Tour and the tapes were included with the jacket. View the original listing here.

The complete track listing is unknown - presumably it includes Pipeline and Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth. Short snippets of Something To Do, Blasphemous Rumours, Things You Said, and Everything Counts were uploaded to Soundcloud and are available to listen to below. Short excerpts of "Leave In Silence" and "Here Is The House" from tour rehearsals of the 1986 Black Celebration Tour were also uploaded along with these snippets. You can listen to those at 1986-03-xx Black Celebration Tour Rehearsals. The rehearsals are probably from March 1986 given that "Here Is The House" is part of the rehearsal.
