Notes

The original release is a soundboard recording of which 4000 copies were pressed. In his liner notes, Bruce Mitchell explains how the deal came about: "An interesting wheeler-dealer, involved in bootleg recordings at the time, arrived in his cream Rolls Royce at a Mayfair hotel restaurant that he had appointed. He brought cash and me and Vini scribbled out a contract and an agreement on a white napkin that had been surrounding Vini's burnt bacon sandwich."

Bootleg audience recording cassettes also exist (inferior quality but with extra tracks).
