Notes:
- Elvis and Steve Nieve only on "Just A Memory".
- 1st known performance of "Just A Memory".
- 8th of 10 known performances of "Human Touch".
- 2nd of 6 known performances of "Pretty Words".

Known flaws:
- Tracks 15-24 suffer from distortion and sound significantly worse than tracks 1-14. It is possible this tape combines two different recordings.
- "Secondary Modern" begins in progress - a few seconds of music missing.

Song snippet:
- "Watching The Detectives" includes a bit of "Master Blaster (Jammin')" (Stevie Wonder).
