Release Notes
- Label: Condor Records
- Catalogue#: unknown
- Format: 12" Vinyl LP
- Released: not before 1988
Remarks
- Released in different editions with either plain yellow, plain red, or plain green labels.
Look here for a picture of the vinyl with yellow label...
- The back of the cover names Wayne Hussey as a guitar player, though at the time of this gig Ben Gunn
was still in the band. Hussey didn´t join the band before 1984 and made his debut in April the same year.
- Because of the picture on the cover front this bootleg has been banned from some marketplaces.
NOTE:
- The cover art shows a photograph shot by Joel-Peter Witkin. It was released in los Angeles in 1988 under the name "Gods of Earth & Heaven".[1]
- The photograph "Gods of Earth & Heaven" on the other hand is a daring interpretation of Sandro Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus just in the tipical style of the artist.
- For unknown reasons the cover shows the photograph mirror inverted.
- See both pictures below.
Sources
- The back of the cover states "Live 28.3.83 Paradiso, Amsterdam" as time and place of this concert.
In reality the gig took place on August, 28th, 1983. - Plenty other bootlegs have been created from this soundboard recording.
A list of them can be found here .
