Details

An almost complete show squeezed onto a single disc. As a result the sound is quiet and a little thin which does diminish the performance slightly. Ferry dedicates Tokyo Joe to the audience in a mock Japanese accent! Another interesting note is the back of the sleeve which uses a similar type face to the In Your Mind sleeve, and also mocks the Island records logo with a vibrator instead of a capital I. It also has a mock Island catalogue number.
