Comments

Tremendous recording, with phenomenal crispness. Clarity is just astonishing, with a powerful sound. No background noises. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock is joined in progress (during the bridge part), missing the first two minutes, more or less. Disc 1, second part of track 4 (The Unforgettable Fire), there are some changes in volume level between 07:02 and 07:29. At this point, things are back to normal. Party Girl cuts in just before the "I know a boy, a boy called Trash, Trash Can" part.
