A just-about-listenable audience recording, but interesting because it's such an early performance.

I'd love to hear a copy of this in the original broadcast quality. This recording isn't bad at all, but it's a bit warbly, hissy and indistinct and just leaves me wishing I could hear the original.

   Type: 2CDR  Date: 1989-09-19  Quality: B   Cover: not available  Reference: #1324 
  
An impressive audience recording with a full, if slightly indistinct, sound. Nearly an 'A' rating, but there are channel drop-outs and fluctuations which spoil the recording somewhat (e.g. at start of Cherry Tree).

   Type: CDR  Date: 1989-12-02  Quality: A   Cover: online  Reference: #1229 
  
Seems to be an audience recording because of the occasional voices very close to the microphone, but it has the full sound of a soundboard, albeit a slightly tinny and hissy one. A good listen.

An excellent recording, presumably from a radio broadcast, although it sounds slightly too fast to me (this may have been their style at the time though).

An extraordinarily clear and full audience recording that could even be a soundboard recording of some sort. The levels fluctuate a lot, particularly Natalie's vocals, but it catches the energy of the show really well and in places is really superb. One to play really loud!
