Notes

WLIR 92.7 FM in Garden City, NY, USA broadcast some of this concert on Tuesday, March 19, 1985 at 21:00 during their "Tuesday Night Radio Concerts" program. The music was presented by radio host "Larry The Duck" and concluded by Malibu Sue, and both announcers claim the show as having been recorded live specifically for WLIR 92.7 FM, however this is not the case as other radio stations had access to this audio, such as WXXP FM in Pennsylvania. This radio broadcast is the only source for the track Ice Machine from this concert, which has not yet appeared on any official video or audio release.

Unfortunately, this specific recording was encoded as 128kbps AAC after being transferred from an unknown generation cassette. Sound quality is very good, although a bit marred by the lossiness and with rather constant hiss throughout. See You is also incomplete, probably due to a tape flip halfway throughout the song.

Please note a superior sounding and complete pre-FM reel copy of this recording is available as Source 1. This version is retained for completeness' sake, since this version has radio hosts' intros and outros.
