Album Info

Release Date: 1983

Label: Plasma Tapes

This cassette was produced as an part of the Italian VIVA magazine, 'N°10 Primavera 1983' issue, titled "Viva Noir".
The cassette contains tracks from the concerts at "Al's Bar" (24 April 1982 - A2/A6) and "Sala Borromini" (11 December 1982 - A7 and B1/B4) plus one song from the concert at Oddfellows Hall (24 April 1981 - A1). The cover does not list these venues, it does only list the recording dates and cities.
The tracklisting is not correct here and there, there are at least a pair of never heard elsewhere tracks.
The cover is screenprinted in silver on black cardboard. Most copies are a little too big for the snapcases and sometimes the inner flap is too long resulting in misfolds. The print is also not perfect due to the process of printing. Usually black cassettes were used but there are also copies on grey or white cassettes. Some feature photocopied stickers, some a silver dot, some remained unlabeled.

This is the version WITHOUT THE MAGAZINE: When the magazine was sold out, the tape with the silver on black screenprinted cover was sold on its own.

It was later un-officially re-released with different covers, this is the only official release.
