Notes

Released in February 1980, it contains 14 tracks: 7 demo songs from a session recorded at Graveyard Studios in September 1979 (side A) and 7 songs from a gig at the Electric Ballroom on 26th October 1979 (side B), together with Joy Division and The Distractions.
The pouches come in various colours and designs:
Orange (edition of 400), with 1 button and two pockets.
Blue and red, with with 1 button and two pockets or with 2 buttons and 1 pocket.
Green and grey (can appear brown), with 1 button and two pockets.
The cassettes are either black with light grey paper labels or white/light grey with dark grey paper labels.
The back photographs either show a band member with a trumpet or with a guitar.

It's a wide-spread misconception that ACR were supporting Talking Heads on the day. However, Talking Heads only played there in December 1979. This error stems from a 1980 review in NME by Paul Morley.
