Despite what it says on the sleeve, this recording is from the Hammersmith Odeon, Feb 7th 1981, a show which was recorded and broadcast by the BBC (and bootlegged in full elsewhere). This reproduction is mastered at the wrong speed (pitched up significantly). It should be noted that "Ain't That Peculiar" is truncated and stops at the line "...lost his toy".
