Notes
This concert was broadcast by Swiss radio station DRS3 in its entirety. DRS3 recorded this concert and licensed the recording to Westwood One. The audio was reportedly prepared for broadcast by Daniel Miller, according to Swiss newspaper records. An unedited, complete pre-FM recording from this concert is available, along with an FM broadcast master recording. Additionally, there's a speed-corrected version of the most common bootleg variant, 'Performance'.
Westwood One produced several promotional CD and LP releases. Please see the Bootleg and commercial variants subpage for more detailed information about those releases.
People Are People, If You Want, Shame, and Blasphemous Rumours from this date were officially released on various editions of the 'A Question Of Lust' single. Master And Servant was released on CD2 of the 2006 remaster of Some Great Reward. The mixing and mastering on these versions differ greatly from the version prepared for radio broadcast. Audio examples have been prepared to showcase the differences between the officially released versions and the versions broadcast.

Sources
- Source 1 is an unedited, complete pre-FM recording.
- Source 2 is subwave's excellent master cassette recording of the original DRS3 FM broadcast, with some patches to create a complete recording.
- Source 3 is a very good sounding DRS3 FM broadcast recording sourced from a speed-corrected rip of the Performance 2xCD bootleg. It has poor dynamic range and may sound rather muffled, likely due to the "NoNOISE" noise-reduction system used. This source is provided primarily for collectors.
