Source
- Allegedly recorded live on 18/06/1985, Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, which has, however, proofed wrong ...
- Both tracks are in fact studio recordings.
- Some sources name "Demos recorded in Strawberry Studios in 1985" as the origin of these recordings,
- which seems not overly likely, as recording sessions at Strawberry Studios took place in 1984,
- apparently without any recording of these tracks. Anyway, so far the origin of these tracks remains unclear.
