A single LP transcription disc featuring Squeeze live. These LPs were made in very small quantities, probably fewer than 100, and sent to radio stations to be played just once as a radio programme. They include adverts as well as breaks for local adverts to be inserted. Many have lost the ‘cue sheet’ which shows the track listing and timings so local djs could play them properly. This one was recorded in Oxford, live at the Polytechnic, on 15 May 1981 and broadcast on the BBC. It’s also available as a BBC In Concert transcription disc.

The full setlist was:

Take Me I’m Yours
Too Many Teardrops
Another Nail in My Heart
Separate Beds
Slightly Drunk
Out Of Touch
I Think I’m Go Go
Is That Love
Heaven
I’ve Returned

Up The Junction
Messed Around
Goodbye Girl

This version misses out Too Many Teardrops and I’ve Returned to make space for the adverts.
