This CD features the original mixes from the recordings made on the 1979 tour and sounds very good indeed (salutes for mastering man extraodinaire, John Dent). While the songs were principally mixed for use on the soundtrack to the video ‘The Touring Principle’, two of the recordings, ‘Bombers’ and ‘Me, I Disconnect From You’, were issued as ‘B’ sides to the single ‘Complex’ on 24 November. The latter track, along with ‘Metal’ ‘Conversation’and ‘Down In The Park’ had also been mixed without audience applause as mime tracks for a televised benefit concert in aid of ‘Year Of The Child’ at Wembley Arena on 22 November. Though it’s unlikely this sequence was ever intended for release, the mixes have a drier vocal and are slightly different to the LO ’79 ones. It was in January 1980 that four tracks were selected for a potential EP but the project was abandoned and two of these songs, ‘Remember I Was Vapour’ and ‘On Broadway’ used on a free 7” single included with original copies of the ‘Telekon’ album. Further songs from the concert were released in April 1981 on the album ‘Living Ornaments ‘79’ and these are mixes used for this release. The entire show was re-mixed and released in the correct performance sequence on a double CD in 1998. The disc is packaged in a Japanese style cardboard sleeve with an inner sleeve and plastic disc jacket.
