* Removed Due To Official Release Or Poor Quality
Personnel:
Declan Macmanus - Vocal, Guitar
Steve Hazlehurst - Guitar
Mich Kent - Bass
Dickie Faulkner - Percussion
Unknown Session Musician - Drums
Notes: Per Elviscostello.info, There Are Two Versions Of This Bootleg. This Is Version 2, The Lp. Hard To Be Sure Which Of These Three Versions Of “imagination (is A Powerful Deceiver)” Is On The “my Aim Is True” Reissues, So I Removed All Three (better Safe Than Sorry). Track 14 Is Not One Of The Flip City Demo Recordings, But From The Third John Peel Session, Recorded On 1978-10-23. It’s Also Sourced From What Sounds Like A Very Noisy
Scratchy Record. Since This Version Is Available On Better Bootlegs Of The Bbc Peel Sessions And Has Nothing To Do With The Flip City Demos I Removed It. (a Live Version Is Also Available Commercially On “stiffs Live.”)
Quality:
Overall Sound Quality Is Quite Good. Some Minor Distortion, Mostly Likely From Original Mastering Of The Bootleg Lp.
