Sources
- Tracks A1 - A3 are demos.
- Tracks A4 + A5 were recorded live at the Gala, Norwich in 1983.
- Tracks B1 - B6 were recorded live at Manchester University in 1984
- Jolene and Adrenochrome are the same versions as those found on the 7"-bootleg Nightmares.
- Everything from Knockin' On Heaven's Door until Louie Louie is the often-bootlegged medley from 1984.
The medley is essentially Knockin' to Purple Haze though, followed by a second or two's pause, then
starting an instrumental version of Stairway To Heaven and culminating in the Ghostrider medley with
a version of Louie Louie at the end.
