This label copy information is the subject of copyright protection. © 2016 Noble & Brite Ltd. Made in the E.U. [Booklet:] Nothing at all has been re-recorded or overdubbed on this live album, just two or three sound FX added to help with the atmosphere. On the first disc the track, Never Be Mine, is the only take that exists, and was recorded when the show was being filmed without an audience. It was cut because the show was too long but is now back in its original position. Everything else runs as was, with only a few edits to help the flow of the music. In loving memory of Ian Newton Additional runout information: - Runouts are etched - The Optimal Media plating symbols (“geometric” marks) are mirrored This version appears to have been sold and distributed in the United States under barcode 888072016583, which was done by placing a sticker over the original barcode. In turn, the United States version’s hype sticker contains a Concord Records catalog number CRE00303. Copies purchased under that barcode in the United States do not appear to be a separate release, but simply contain different stickers on the outside of the shrink wrap. |
