[1978-03-06; LP; Canadian Columbia CDN-10C (Canadian promo)]
Recording of a stereo CHUM-FM live broadcast on 6-Mar-78 in Toronto.
(Recorded by Comfort Sound).
The times listed here are the approximate times of the music excluding
crowd noise and intros.
This version of "Less Than Zero" has different lyrics to the studio
version, and is commonly known as the 'Dallas Version'.
Only 300 (possibly 500) copies pressed. This album was heavily bootlegged
and here's what Beyond Belief has to say about the differences between an
original and a counterfeit copy:
"Starting with the album cover, an original will have a thick
cardboard jacket with a grey (not white) inside. The spine of the
jacket will be squared off (not tapered or rounded) with the title
information printed squarely on the spine. Also the front cover
black & white photos will be sharply reproduced (not blured or
smudged). The disc itself is of thick vinyl with bands between
songs. The label on the disc will be clearly centred on the disc
with sharp printing of the song titles. Finally the hand written
(not machine) engraving in the dead wax will be as follows:
CDN-10-A-1A-2HDKZ (side 1)
CDN-10-B-1A-2HDKZ (side 2)"
(Also, the reviews of the show on the back cover are harder to read on the
bootleg version).
The support act that evening was Nick Lowe. CBS Records Canada
released a very limited 33 1/3 rpm 7" promo called _Nick Lowe Live At
The El Mocambo_ [7CDN-1] with the following tracks: "I Love The Sound
Of Breaking Glass" b/w "Shake & Pop/Heart Of The City".
