Recording info & notes
Tracks 1-10 recorded live at The Junction, Cambridge on 24 October 1995; tracks 11, 13-19 & 21 recorded live at the Roskilde Festival, Denmark on 30 June 1996; tracks 12 & 20 recorded live at the Phoenix Festival, UK on 21 July 1996.

Incorrect song titles are as they appear on the cover artwork. Track 19 is incorrectly described as coming from the Phoenix Festival. The beginning of track 20 is cut and beginning and end of track 21 are cut. Track 13 is actually U.S. 80s-90s on the CD, but the song 15 Ways does appear later, uncredited but indexed as a separate track, between tracks 14 & 15. Thus, CD2's sleeve track numbering is thrown out from that point.

Reissued on 15 November 2004 on Get Back (Italy) LP: GET123 with the tracklisting of CD1 only. CD2 was reissued separately under the name Pearl City. Pressed on 180gm vinyl.

2005 Dynamic reissue
Reissued on 25 January 2005 on Dynamic (Italy) CD: DYNA011CD, again with the tracklisting of CD1 only. CD2 was reissued separately on CD under the name Pearl City.
