In the mid 80's there were a bunch of bad sounding live bootlegs for sale. By '88 the band felt they could bootleg the band as well as everybody else, so they joined the crowd and released their own crappy bootleg too.

Slightly better sounding than most boo...

Slightly better sounding than most bootlegs of the time, only a limited pressing was made and it went out of print farily quickly.
Since it's doubtful this will ever be reissued again, here all the songs in the MP3 format, for those who want it but are reluctant to cough up the 100 bucks or so for an original copy on Ebay.
While these songs aren't sonic masterpieces, the MP3s have a stereo bit rate of 128 kbps, and sound pretty identical to the original cds. The MP3s were also taken from the UK pressing, which had better transitions between songs and slightly better fidelity than the US version. Read more on Last.fm.
