    Great album. This edition is unfortunately botched because live tracks from 2000 and 2003 don’t cut the mustard and are lazy filler. The modern remix is lazy too. A Deluxe Edition needs to stick to the era, 1985-86 and even demos are better than live tracks from more recent years.
    Sound wise, the original CD sounds fantastic compared to this remaster.

      Small mistake in the dates. Recording and broadcast dates are confused. The tracks at Hammersmith Odeon were recorded in November 1985. They were broadcast in 1986 on the BBC.

        This doesn't contain "Hot Water"? What the hell is that about?
