Notes from PassionsJustLikeMine.com:
This is one of a series of great bootlegs put out by Chelsea. Its highlights are the early mix of "Heaven Know I'm Miserable Now" from a television broadcast two months before the song was released, and the extremely rare alternate version of "How Soon Is Now?" that was prior to this only available on the Italian "William It Was Really Nothing" 12". The fact that half of this bootleg is of (mostly instrumental) soundchecks might be of special interest to certain fans while it might annoy others.
