Recorded at The Fall's concerts in New Zealand on their 1982 tour. It was released on the Flying Nun label with, what Chris Knox thought was, permission from the group after they played the group the tapes. However, Flying Nun were contacted by the group's Australian publishers and were told it was an 'unauthorised' release. According to Knox the label was ordered to stop exporting it, press no more copies and also pass the profits onto the publishers. It has since received an 'official' release.
