Notes:

October 23rd 1986 live recordings (excepting A1.a and B7.b are backtrack studio recordings).

Gloss gatefold sleeve. Picture inner sleeve of top opening card with a die cut thumb section.
Both sleeves have a lightly metallic silver finish.
Orange labels with black text.

This version has three concentric pressing rings around the centre hole, indicative of MPO. It is likely an early repress using EMI plates.

All runout characters are stamped excepting "PEEPHOLISM", which is hand etched.
Tim Young is credited by name on the inner sleeve and also identified by "TY1" on side B runout.
