Album Info

Release Date: 1988-01

Label: El Topo

Recorded live at the Hammersmith Palais March 12, 1984. Comes in generic white LP sleeve with pasted-on 12"x12" front cover art and back tracklisting. The tracklisting is not broken down into sides/positions.

Track A4 is listed as "I'll Never Make That Mistake Again" on the back cover but is actually "Girl Afraid". "Pretty" is misspelled as "Pertty" in the title "Pretty Girls Make Graves". "Hand In Glove" is missing its first verse and chorus.

The sound qualities varies over the course of the entire concert. It was recorded from the soundboard and much of it is very clear and crisp, but there are a few moments during which the source tape gets quiet due to media limitation/error of the original recording. Very little crowd noise. Funny commentary between songs from Morrissey (after Sandie Shaw's turn in "I Don't Owe You Anything", he quips: "I always knew I'd get de-throned eventually," just before turning around and introducing "Reel Around The Fountain" as "There's Always Something There To Remind Me".)
