LIVE - Mother of Pearl Bootleg - Tracks

"Publishers"
MasterTone Multimedia Ltd, AB 3043, Germany? 1995
MasterTone (Multimedia ltd., London, UK) CD 10072, 1995
and Culture Press Records, CP 1002, Germany 1997.

The "CP 1002" printing information courtesy of Wolfgang Schmidt from Hamburg. Wolfgang's comment:

• A remixing studio in Hamburg is mentioned on the cover, but it's unknown in Hamburg.

The "CD 10072" printing information courtesy of Jos van Acker, Netherlands. Jos' comments:

• Licensed from Tentcrest Ltd. t/a The Merlin Group, UK.
  Recorded at Liverpool Empire in 1976.
  Remix at Cristallo Music Studio, Klaus-Uwe Hentschel, Hamburg.
  Design: Chip Werbeteam, Hamburg.
• On the backside information of the case as well as on the CD you find the code 'ADD', which by itself means that the tapes are digitally remastered. If we are to take this information seriously, then this is both a remixed and remastered edition (which are two different processes).
• The individual photos of the original(!) line-up in concert which are used for the front cover design are a mirror-image copy (literally) of the design for the 1975 MCA compilation LP 'Best Of Wishbone Ash' MZPS 7820 (Germany only release).
• Some song titles are incorrect:
  track 6: '(In all my dreams) You Rescue Me'.
  This should be 'in all OF my dreams', etc.
  Quite hilarious is 'Out Ward Hound'
  which of course should be 'Outward Bound' (track 7).
  Track 10: Time Was... (yes, with three dots...)
