Better Than Food - Version 1 - Roxy Music Vinyl Bootleg

The August 1972 concert has been touched up in several places. Firstly, a DJ introduction and applause is added to the start of Grey Lagoons which was actually the second song of the concert. Grey Lagoons also has an Eno-type solo dubbed on where Mackays sax solo should be. Listening to the original recording reveals that there was probably some sort of microphone trouble with the sax, as it is barely audible (but it is there). Sea Breezes has reverb and delay studio effects added to the now that we are lonely... section, and Re-Make/Re-Model has extra applause mixed in at the end. Better Than Food was reissued on coloured vinyl (blue/purple) as a limited edition of 100, and uses the back cover of the original pressing as an insert for the front.
