Notes

Live Performance at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, recorded 22nd December 1981. The sound quality is a little rough, but clear, certainly better than the 1 LP "Japan" bootleg which uses some of the same material. Nice gatefold sleeve, with a collage inside with various photos of the group. The beginning of Side C is a little odd - before Cantonese Boy there is a little bit of another group's song, possibly the Human League. This does not interfere with the Japan recording as there is a silent break before Cantonese Boy starts.
