Sources

• Track A is an officially unreleased demo, possibly recorded in September 1982 during the recording session at Strawberry Studios, Stockport, England

(The fact that this song is listed as 'Good Things (Studio)' on the label of Side One is surely the reason why this bootleg is also known under that name.)

• Tracks B1 and B2 were recorded live at the University of York in York, England on May 7th, 1981

Additional Notes:

• Various other bootlegs with "Good Things" in their title do exist, the most remarkable of which is

GOOD THINGS Plus 2 live songs, another 7" bootleg single that features exactly the same tracks.

• Furthermore, there are several CD and DVD bootlegs of various content that are all listed here.

• A Good Things flexi disc exists as well.
