note by NELLY1275GT:
Description courtesy of www.nightporter.co.uk
"The source of this recording is not revealed on the CD sleeve, but it was an FM broadcast. The tracks have been re-mastered
for this release but unfortunately, where the LP is stereo, the CD is not. Overall this is quite good quality, but not up to the standard of Polaroid.
During European Son, David starts to sing the wrong lyrics but corrects himself halfway through. Burning Bridges and My New Career
have been edited from the tape so that the concert fits onto one CD.
I was told that the Kyoto 1981 bootleg is available in a red sleeve in a good quality, Japanese pressing."
