There is also an Extra advertise booklet of the label The Swingin' Pig included. It lists:

Perfect Beat Tonträger GmbH, P. O. Box 13 40, D-3492 Brakel, Germany, FAX 52 72-56 01
(These distributors probably don't exists any longer!)

The Imprint of the Release stated:
Recorded live in Brussels, Belgium, 1981-06-05

But I compared it with existing recordings on YouTube and it is a recording from the Torhout Festival in Werchter, Belgium, 1981-07-05.

The pictures shown in the booklet wasn't taken at the concert of the recording. Comparing with existing footage on YouTube, Mark Knopfler's Hair was already different and David Knopfler is in one picture, who wasn't playing at the Festival.

Carefully re-mastered by Pauler Acoustics W. Germany
