J-Card Comment Elvis Costello and the Attractions
November 23, 1986
Royalty Theatre
London, England

source: BBC transcription discs
bootleg: "This Is Tomorrow" (1992, Big Music, BIG 012/13, Italy)
sound: excellent, mostly
lineage: original silver cds > EAC > wav > Audacity (reorder / retracking) > TLH > flac 6 (SB align) > Foobar2000 (flac tags).

I posted "This Is Tomorrow" on Dime in 2005. In that version, the songs had been rearranged by the BBC for two 60-minute transcription discs.

Last year I restored the original running order, retracked most of the rest, and fixed one or two pops in about half the tracks. A few seconds of fuzzyiness near the beginning of "Beyond Belief" (present on the silver) were left as is.

It was snatched about 300 times last year. For anyone who wasn't here then, here it is again, same flac files, updated info file, plus artwork by John E and chaoramon.
