A double LP transcription disc featuring Squeeze and Richard Marx. 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. Side 3 is the reverse of Side 1 and Side 4 is the reverse of Side 2 so they could be played on two turntables and broadcast seamlessly. This one was recorded in Manchester, live at the Apollo, on 20 September 1987:
