Notes and reviews

"An interesting compilation LP from various sources. The disc is issued in a wrap-around custom cover on heavy paper featuring an early ’77-’78 photo on the front and an 1985 photo on the back.
Limited hand numbered edition of 1000.
The pressing and sound quality is very good and only slightly inferior to circulating cassette tapes on most tracks. The exception is the HONKY TONK DEMOS which are much duller than they are on the 7” boot.
MAN OUT OF TIME is listed on the cover but does not appear on the disc. (Letterman Show if it was here). "
(Review in ECIS, August 1985).

  • Although the sound isn't that great, I'd highly recommend this boot. The '81 & '83 live stuff are worth the price of admission alone - Matthew Berlyant
