This gatefold LP was originally released by Ariola Records in West Germany, recorded from a live show at Theater Essen on January 20th, 1980. It was available only on vinyl for at least two decades, before a strange "official" CD-R was reissued around 2002. One thing to note is that the tracks on the CD-R are split up much more than they were on the LP. Various passages of dialogue got their own tracks, as did fourteen seconds of lightning sound effects that (for whatever reason) apparently warranted their own track. The sound files posted match the track splits of the CD-R, and not this LP, meaning that the sound files linked below only actually cover part of the album. Please take a look at the overall album page for further info as well as the complete sound files.
