Notes

A very good audience recording, much better than the existing recording which is sourced from the 2x silver CD bootleg "Italiantour 11/87". This recording played too fast and had a lot of clipping and some volume issues; automatic phase correction took care of most of this along with a little bit of manual editing to normalize the really loud peaks when the recording level was adjusted too harshly. I adjusted the speed to match the official '101' release, of course. A buzzing noise can occasionally be heard, mostly in the left channel, but removing this would harm the sound too significantly in my opinion, so I left it be.

Unfortunately, this recording cannot be shared in lossless form due to trader restriction. However, AAC encoding is very efficient and at this high of a bitrate, it is completely transparent to the lossless version, so please do not complain about the lack of a lossless version and enjoy the recording instead. :)

Note that an extended version of People Are People is played, adding an extended middle break. This version is last played at 1987-10-30 Palatrussardi, Milan, Italy, after which the "regular" shorter version is played.

Many thanks to LastViolator for allowing me to work on this recording and for sharing it with all of us. RIP Tiburon.
