Tracks 2-1 to 2-9 recorded on 2 inch 24 track, October 10, 1988 at the Metropol in Berlin during Berlin Independence Days Festival by a couple of anonymous Germans who changed reels immediately before "Touch Me I'm Sick". The first 30 seconds were missing and had to be spliced in from a widely bootlegged audience recording supplied by Dean Whitmore. We're quite impressed with the results if we do say so ourselves, thanks to the skills of one William Inglot. Mixed at Avast Classic, November 16 & 17, 2007.
Tracks 2-10 to 2-15 broadcast live at KCSB, Santa Barbara, November 16, 1988. A cassette recording of this was provided by Jay Hinman.
Mastered at Digiprep. Disc 1 remastered from the original tapes.
