    I have this. It’s a bootleg. The running order is lifted from the CD version -presumably because that’s what it was ripped from. C4 (Suspect) even skips at the end like a marked CD would. (Note to bootlegger: if you’re going to do this then at least do it PROPERLY!) Having said that, I’m not complaining as I picked it up in a charity shop for £2.50.

      Very little info on this release. Anyone know if it's a bootleg?
