This is a repackaging of what I believe to be (partial) FM broadcasts during two points in XTC's career. This was originally downloaded from Dime on 12/24/2007 as a "two CD set" and the audio files remain unchanged. .md5 files are included from the original download. Tags have been added and the info file has been updated in this torrent. That is all I know about the lineage.
The first CD was claimed to have been an FM broadcast taken from the Mar8 1982 show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam and appears to be missing the first seven tracks of the show according to this AUD post of the same show, found here: www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=703114. The AUD post claims that the end of the last track (Life Begins At The Hop) fades out however it does not there, and it does fade out here on this supposed FM posting.
The second CD is a two-parter. The first is most likely an incomplete FM of the Ancienne Belgique show from the day before, Mar7 1982. It is similar to post www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=703109 which looks like a 2009 FM rebroadcast of a larger part of the show. There are two key differences. This particular recording could be considered an upgrade because Track 04, Snowman, is complete and without the dropout in the 2009 recording. This recording also includes No Thugs in Our House sandwiched in between Snowman and Ball And Chain, which Andy clearly announces as the next track at the close of Snowman. The ending of Snowman on the 2009 version is spliced somewhere because the thank yous are different between the two, but that's a whole other discussion.
The second part of CD2 is a part of an in studio interview with what sound like Andy and Colin from a 1989 broadcast on WNEW in NYC, promoting Oranges And Lemons.
