Recording comments
I can't seem to find an individual entry for Santa Monica so I'll comment on it here. Yes it is 8mm and it has dubbed sound; I presume from the audience recording from the same date. Quality is rather dark and generally unstable. Also, you do not get full songs here; only certain portions of varying lengths. I love anything by the band so I enjoyed it for what it was but I imagine some people would give it a pass due to its questionable quality and incomplete state. [duke23]

Recording comments
Although available in shops throughout Europe for around 6 Euros, this is a bootleg recording, not sanctioned by the band or the Tony Stratton-Smith Estate and is therefore, in my opinion, fair game. It is also of inferior quality compared to recently discovered versions of this show [Simon_Funnell]

I totally agree to Simon's thoughts. [Gigio67]

At least, there's a nice Grand Theft Auto-like cover... [Jack_Floyd]
