- One of 9 known performances of "The Great Unknown".

Known flaws:
- "From Head To Toe" is missing from the recording (aside from one beat in the fadeout after "Kid About It".)
- "The World And His Wife" is missing its last minute or so.
- "Mystery Dance", "Charm School", and "Alison" have clipped intros - up to a few seconds of music missing from each.
- Tape flip or pause at 3:11 of "Charm School" - at least a few seconds of music missing.
- "New Lace Sleeves" has a noise in the right channel at 0:24.

Song snippets:
- "Watch Your Step" includes one line from Spandau Ballet's "True" (Gary Kemp).
- "Alison" includes a bit of "Living A Little, "Laughing A Little" (Thom Bell & Linda Creed).
- "Pump It Up" includes a bit of "Ain't That A Lot Of Love" (Homer Banks & Deanie Parker).
