Notes

Part 2 of 40th Anniversary Box.
Cardboard box with 5 discs in jewel cases and a 60-page book inside.

Tracks 1-1 to 1-7 and 1-12 to 1-14 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Stockholm (the radio box says Goteborg) on May 9, 1977 and broadcast June 8 and 11, 1977.
Tracks 1-9 to 1-11 were recorded for Tonkraft at a concert in Goteborg on May 28, 1976 and broadcast July 14 and July 17.
Track 1-8 was mixed up at some stage along the way and the version used was from the NDR Jazz Workshop, Hamburg concert on 26th March 1976.
NOTE: After mastering this CD we realised that the version of Ottawa Song used on it was in fact from the Hamburg Radio recording; the files somehow got mixed up or mislabelled. Mea Culpa. This also means that John is not playing bass on tracks 1-9 to 1-11 - these tracks feature only Cooper, Cutler, Frith and Hodgkinson.

Tracks 2-1 to 2-3 were recorded at Wandsworth Town Hall in London on February 13th 1977.
Track 2-4 was recorded at De Piek in Vlissingen on May 22nd 1977.
Tracks 2-5 to 2-7 were recorded at the Salle des Fetes, Chaumont on November 25th 1976.
(All the above tracks were recorded, probably to cassette, by unknown audience members.)
Tracks 2-8 to 2-11 were recorded at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on December 16th 1977, also most likely to cassette by an unknown audience member.
Track 2-12 is an unidentified late recording, probably from Italy in May/June 1977, taken from a cassette.

Tracks 3-1 to 3-14 recorded at the Sendesaal, Studio F, Radio Bremen on 22nd of March, 1978 for New Jazz Live. Transferred from the original stereo tapes.

Tracks 4-1 to 4-4 and 4-10 (source unknown, but probably Italy, outdoors, and certainly in June or July 1978).
Tracks 4-5 to 4-9 were recorded at the Rock In Opposition Festival at the New London Theatre, Drury Lane, London on March 12th 1978 on a Revox A77 with a pair of Nakamichi microphones.
Track 4-11 was almost certainly recorded in Cervia on the 23rd of July, 1978. Source of recording unknown but probably a cassette made in the auditorium.

DVD recorded 25th August 1976 at Vevey, Switzerland. This is the only known video recording of Henry Cow.

Remastered at Studio Midi Pyrenees.
