Notes

First US reissue of the 1977 original, featuring completely different cover art and three extra tracks A5, A6 & B3 but without "Girl".

This edition also includes a bonus 9" double-sided flexidisc, "23 Minutes in Bruxelles", recorded live in Brussels on 16th July 1978 and featuring a version of "Frankie Teardrop".

These copies also have a custom "Limited Edition" sticker with the details attached to the outer shrink wrap (some stickers directly pasted on sleeve).

"Keep Your Dreams" was recorded live at CBGB's in NYC. "96 Tears" was recorded live at Kant Kino Auditorium in Berlin by Charles Ball of Lust/Unlust. Aside from "I " all other LP tracks are identical to those on other releases.

The Flexidisc has the first track and the last two tracks of the gig on side 1, and the middle two tracks on side 2 ('Cheree' goes down quite well with the audience!)

Note this release was also issued in a standard edition, without the flexidisc and cover sticker.

    Really nice sound from this! The live stuff on the end of each side is worth the tracklist edits if you can get a reasonable price!

      Are we absolutely certain about that 9" dimension on the flexi?
