Catalogue number(s) is given inconsistently, as follows:
• The sleeve gives the catalogue number as MARK 1 + 2;
• The labels give the catalogue number as live 1 (for disc 1) and live 2 (for disc 2).
• The matrix number on both discs is LIVE 1.

The A in the matrix number of disc 2, side 1 and the B in the matrix number of disc 2, side 2 are scratched out.

Originally released in New Zealand late 1983, import copies arrived in the UK in early 1984.

WARNING: It exists a German bootleg copy with black lettering on white labels that has at least one major skip in "Man Whose Head Expanded". The run-out grooves of the bootlegs read either "Teil 1 & Teil 2" or "LIVE 1 seite 1", "LIVE 1 S.2, S.3, S.4" - see "The Fall - Fall In A Hole".

    what are the chances someone out there has a spare insert?

      Hope this will get a reissue one day. It‘s a classic live record.

        Nice little write up about the interesting history behind this record: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/feb/21/the-fall-band-new-zealand-flying-nun-record-company

          I don't think this should be listed as unofficial. Flying Nun is a legit label, and the story goes that they received permission to record and release this record for the New Zealand market only, but started sending import copies out once NZ sales had dried up. When MES saw the record appearing in the UK and with only a picture of the recently fired Marc Riley on the front, he was angry and claimed he hadn't given any permission.
