This is a very rough and ready official bootleg originally recorded on cassette by Cardiacs at the very last muddy minute at the Reading Rock Festival on 24th August 1986. It is of excellent quality considering the circumstances.

The cassette version was bundled with "A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window" for a while, as a special value pack. 12" vinyl copies were released, but all are white labels in a plain white sleeve. Some had an A4 paper insert on white, or pastel blue paper. The only markings are a rubber stamp on the cover, which is repeated on the centre labels, although some later pressings omitted the rubber stamp on the cover. It has since been released on CD.
