Notes

A very good audience recording of the first concert of the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour. The left channel is quieter than the right, probably as a result of Elly's taping location; some tracks have the stereo channels more or less balanced, however. The crowd is very excited and lively, and this recording depicts that from the second that Pimpf begins.

Pimpf is missing the about 40 seconds from the beginning, but otherwise this is a complete recording. Note that the extended 12" version of People Are People was performed during this concert, with a lengthier break in the middle of the song. This version would be played up through the seventh gig of the tour (1987-10-30 Milan); all later performances of the song during this tour more closely resemble the shorter single version of the track.

Many thanks to Falko for generously lending me another batch of low-generation tapes to transfer.
