Notes

Recorded live January 8, 1983 at "Espace Oscar Niemeyer" at "Maison de la Culture" (Le Havre, France).

Each lp has its' own cat. number [558 662 / 558 663 on the labels] but the release has 558662/3 printed on the rear sleeve and spine.

Gatefold sleeve with liner notes in French and English, the notes are continued on a one-sided insert, also in French and English, presumably because there was not enough space to complete them on the sleeve.
