Notes

LP originally released in 1981.

Comes in gatefold mini LP replica with OBI & Japanese insert.

Tracks 10 and 12 recorded live at Rotterdam Utopia Hall, 13 December 1980.
Track 11 recorded live at Leeds Rockafellas, 6 Dec 1981.

Made in Japan.

In connection with this release, a store in the Shinjuku district of Toyko called Disk Union created an empty box for this release to go into. The box was large enough that you could also include the Birdsong / Hayabusa Landings re-issues of The Graveyard and the Ballroom and Sextet. This empty box occasionally shows up on sites like Ebay, leading some collectors to believe there was a boxed set of the Birdsong ‎/ Hayabusa Landings re-issues but this isn't the case. Disk Union made this box for people who bought the set at their store as a bonus incentive, so this box cannot be listed on Discogs as it never formally was sold with the discs inside. Disk Union makes many of these types of empty boxes for various artists but they do not sell them outside of Japan, which is why some people buy them up and resell them on Ebay. It is unclear when the boxes were first made, so it could be in connection with either the 2008 re-issue, the 2011 re-issue, or both.

    I appreciate the comment regarding the Disk Union box. I actually bought one of these from Disk Union in Japan and it came packaged with all three releases in it, and there is more room that was filled with padding. I've been wondering for ages wondering what to do about it from a Discogs perspective. I'll attach some photos to this entry for those interested. So in my case I actually did buy it as a 3 disc box set of all Birdsong ACR releases from Japan. And a lovely thing it is too. For serious Factory/ACR collectors only, mind. It wasn't cheap, but you do get those unique live tracks not available elsewhere.
