Sources

• 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.
