Comments
The sleeve is yellow with "The Cure Stiff As Toys" written in black. The back is a huge pig with "Trade Mark of Quality" written around it. They only made 500 copies of this boot and the other TMOQ boot I reviewed called "I-Beam".

Well you're never going to see this one again.

Basically, you're not missing anything--the sound quality was largely crap. But the tracklisting here obviously leaps out at you. The date here is obviously wrong. It's one of the shows on the Top tour--probably the show in The Netherlands.

If you do a little wordplay, you can guess that "Phanna Presponding" is "Bananafishbones". Taking that into account, the setlist here is really interesting. I used to listen to this all the time. If you've got a stereo with even bass and treble EQ, and you put the treble up and bass down a bit, it's a passable mix. For this tracklisting, you couldn't go wrong.

Another entry in the "good old days" of bootlegging, to be sure.
