Annotation
Fellow music trader and collector Crispin Coulson kindly sent this to me. A great live performance from the Quick Step era.
Update: It turns out that this gig is in fact an alternate version of the Twins Peak bootleg, with one track missing. Crispin Coulson sheds some light on this:
...The recording I sent you was not a copy of an existing bootleg or an audience recording. It was an orginal in that it was a straightforward recording off air as it was broadcast. The lack of quality can be blamed on the standard of FM broadcasts in the early '80s and the BASF cassette tape it was recorded on. I'm sure you will agree that BASF cassettes are notorious for their muddy sound and oxide depositing. So it was a miracle that my recording ever saw the light of day.
...(That) there is a track missing is possibly because the concert was edited to fit the broadcast time alloted for Sight and Sound. The recording is as it was broadcast. I can only assume that the compilers of the Twin Peaks Bootleg had access to the original unedited BBC concert tapes which would also account for the improved quality.
