Release Notes

Remarks
This bootleg exists in three editions.
First edition
- The first edition was limited to 50 copies of which not all have been distributed.
- These copies are hand-numbered on the back cover and on the vinyl labels.
- Plain yellow labels on black vinyl with hand-numbering in silver letters.
- Originally, these vinyls were pressed for a re-issue of the 2LP-bootleg A Black Pack,
but remained unused.
- Comes in a plain white cover with a b/w-xerox glued to the cover front and back, resp.
- Apparently, the covers for this edition were also remains from another release,
as they have a red stamp on the back noting "limited edition of 100 copies".
This stamp is hidden, however, by the b/w-xerox glued to the back sleeve,
but it shines through the xerox when you look at it under a strong lamp.
Second Release
- The second edition comes in a normal white card sleeve without the red stamp on the back.
- This re-release is numbered on the yellow labels of the vinyl lp.
- The quantites of this edition are not known.
Third Issue
- The third edition was produced by a private seller.
- The labels are identical with the blue-eye labels of A Black Pack.
- The quality of the b/w-xeroxes used is remarkably low.
Source
- Recorded live on 20 October 1984 at Essex University, Colchester, England
