No applause, and no overdubs -
This is what happened on stage

The Live album was originally released as a double album on Foundry Records in 1985. It was reissued some years later on CD on Virgin Records, with some tracks missing in order to make it fit onto a single CD. Hammill then reissued it again on his own Fie! record label, as The Margin +. This issue did not restore the tracks lost from the original vinyl release, but included an additional disc of material previously released as a live bootleg called THE SECRET ASTEROID JUNGLE: PETER HAMMILL AND THE K GROUP LIVE
