Release Notes

• Label: Planet Rock Records / P.R. Records Detroit 1984

• Catalogue#: 601, Pink.Inc.1

• Format: 12" vinyl LP

Remarks

• Allegedly, the sound quality is 6.5/10.

• Black vinyl with b/w labels giving information on the tracks.

• There is no mention of the bootleg title on the labels.
  The record is titled "York Racecourse", rather.

• Track B5 is spelled wrongly "Gimmie Shelter".

• The back cover states:

Plain "preliminary" cover

NOTE:
A sort of pre-issue item has also surfaced in an online auction.

It came in a plain white "preliminary" sleeve and stated only the bootleg title,

see the picture here on the left (please click into the file for a larger view).

Since we do not have a picture of the actual vinyl, doubts remain whether

this was not just a cover got lost under circumstances uncleared ...



Recording Source

• The tracks were recorded live at Racecourse-Festival, York, 22nd September 1984.

• The concert is incomplete: Anaconda and the Ghostrider / Sister Ray medley were also played at this event.

• The intro to Alice starts twice. Craig Adams' bass quits, then the band start again.

• A bootleg CD titled Revelations exists as well, but features a different concert from the Black October Tour 1984.
