Notes

a decent audience recording sourced from a third-generation cassette tape. Unfortunately, it appears that an incomplete erasure occurred somewhere in the tape's lineage, which means that the basslines from the "Singles 81 > 85" album are audible, primarily in the right channel. Although the right channel could be dropped to mitigate this, the baselines are still audible in the left channel, so it was decided to leave the recording as-is. This content, thankfully, becomes less audible as the recording progresses.

"I Want You Now", "World Full Of Nothing", and "Clean" are missing entirely, probably because the taper either forgot to flip the tape or was constrained by a 90-minute tape. Additionally, the beginning of Black Celebration and most of Route 66 are missing. Otherwise, this appears to be a complete recording.

Many thanks to Emmett for lending this tape for me to transfer and share. I asked him to reach out to his friends to enquire whether any of them might have an unaffected copy, but unfortunately, they had all discarded their copies long ago.
