Comments
The individual who made this recording must have not only been using a low-quality microcassette recorder but probably had it hidden underneath three layers of clothing. Distinguishing the melodies from the the extraordinarily high-pitched hissing of the background noise is a headache inducing process. Besides the good picture of the band on the cover, these CDs are definitely not worth the plastic they're made from.

Artwork is OK, pictures of the correct band members and screened discs. However the inner spread is just advertising of this company's other bootlegs (no Cure).

Sound quality isn't the greatest. Lots of audience noise and kinda muddy. This was my first Cure concert so I play this one regularly. However if you weren't there or aren't a completist get another bootleg. A Forest is missing and they misspelled the name of this bootleg on the spine!

Yes, the sound does suck, but this boot still has some interesting things to it. My friend was at this show, and was therefore ecstatic to get a boot from this one. High is interesting as Robert decides to (spontaneously?) extend the beginning and vamp for a while, ad libbing six string bass stuff at the beginning making the intro longer and cooler. As well, A Night Like This has added lyrics. This early Wish performance of Figurehead was quite cool to hear although is made a bit obsolete because of Paris. Too bad about missing A Forest too. For completists or those seriously obssessed (me !) only.

This was my fifth bootleg and I now have a new reference for poor quality. The person who recorded this must have been hiding in the bathroom with a microcassette. Why did they even bother to put this on CD? However, it does have some of the best packaging I've seen.

The sound is so bad you cant even here the bass on Close to Me. And they spelled Simons last name wrong "gallop" instead of "gallup".
