1-30
Recorded live at The Bottom Line in New York on May 18, 1982
31-38
Recorded at Woodworm Studios in Barford St. Michael, England during June 1980.

An exceptional quality soundboard recording, and a great set of performances. I really can't stress enough how essential this one is. The sound quality's superb, although there's a slight jump cut in Just The Motion (which is on the original master).

The first two discs hold the first halves of the early and late shows respectively, and disc three completes both sets. Finally, the filler consists of demos recorded at Woodworm Studios in Banbury, England during 1980.
