Notes

Officially released "Bootleg" recorded live off the mixing desk direct onto cassette at the last minute at the Reading Rock Festival, August 24th 1986.

All copies are white label with rectangular labels stuck over them denoting "CARDIACS Rude Bootleg" A/B with catalogue number (although this is missing on some copies). Outer sleeves are plain white with a hand applied rubber stamp on top left corner. An A4 photocopied insert on pastel coloured paper with brief details about the recording and a track listing was included.

This is often mistaken for a promo copy or an unauthorised release.
