source: nice broadcast recording. This is taken from the bootleg 'Political Action' which was listed on the Costello wiki as an audience recording (now corrected), as we believe this is a radio broadcast.
origin of broadcast: unknown
taper and equipment: unknown
lineage: unknown -- cd received in trade

My thanks to the unknown taper.

I carried out retracking throughout, added fades in / out where encore breaks had been edited out.

Editing lineage: Audacity (retracking, fades) > TLH > FLAC 6 (align SB) > Foobar2000 (flac tags).
