Notes

  • The artwork reads Live at Hammersmith London 1984, which is incorrect and likely due to a reversal of the date.
  • The title, Augmented The Core Band, apparently comes from a review at Wolfgang's Vault which reads:
     "...They had augmented the core band with a sax player, Steve Barnacle, who shines on the newer material."
  • Four tracks, "I Hope You're Happy Now," "Lipstick Vogue," "Inch By Inch" and "The Deportees Club," were performed but are not included in this release.
