REVIEW:

The first stop in London in early December 19092 happened at the Marquee and for this shows there are 2 sources and 5 versions.

The first version and the one called London Marquee Club 2-12-1992 are identical: a lossless audience recording but the last track was missing (Whip It Up). It ran 2,7% too slow and the sound was quite muddy; the version contained in It’s Oldie Rock n Roll (Masterport 079) instead had a much better sound and was complete, but lossy. Two other versions Yap Yap (ICJ 15) and the bonus tracks from Vive La France (no label) are lossy and incomplete: they seem to be extracted from the Masterport release.

So, it was decided to do two versions: the first coming from the Masterport source: lossy but complete and with a better sound and the second a lossless recording, but with a muddy sound and the encore track missing (Whip It Up).

This version here comes from It’s Oldie Rock ‘n Roll (Masterport-079), some little gaps between the tracks were deleted, the overall sound amplified a bit and all the tracks now start with a song; there is a fade in/out between the encore break. Sincerely I do not see the point in examining the other version, the incomplete muddy sound is no match, lossless or not. This is a strangely short concert, without Demon, Before They Make Me Run or Running Too Deep that will be added later in the tour to the setlist, anyway this seems t be the best possible version available.
