**************************************************************

Santa's
Contrast Clause:
This concert was seeded from a 2nd gen source by mjs820 at:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=514189

It was later banned because two tracks were officially released as B-Sides:

"Ruby Lee" on the vinyl 7" of "When The Night Comes" (EMI - Capitol 2033707)
"Watching The River Flow" on the 1989 German remix CD single of "I Will Live For You" (Capitol Records ?� CDP 552 20 3504 3, EMI Electrola ?� CDP 552 20 3504 3).

**************************************************************

The version here is sourced from an off-air master, and has the opening introductions and closing comments intact. The two officially released tracks have been omitted.

This upload was in response to glasnostrd19's request. It's been a while since I've uploaded any new torrents, and while this is imperfect and incomplete, it should still be a sound quality upgrade from the previous upload. There are the occasional reception problems, like at the beginning of t08; there is a mid-cut from a cassette flip in t12; t18 cuts in on beginning notes. Station IDs at the end of t08 and t14.

I've always archived my recordings in APE. I know 90% of you will re-convert to FLAC but I just didn't want to add another step to the lineage. You have my blessing to re-convert losslessly and re-up on another tracker later, but please have the decency to stay on and seed here until the last leecher is gone.

The best part of this tour was Ren�e Geyer as one of the backup singers, IMHO.
