Notes

• Tracks 1 - 2 from BBC In Session 1980.
• Tracks 3 - 8 recorded at Reading Rock Festival, Reading, England on 27 August 1982 and broadcast on BBC Radio The Friday Rock Show, hosted by DJ Tommy Vance. There, Diamond Head were surprise late replacements for Manowar on the Friday night bill. This late replacement status accounts for the comment Sean Harris makes on the album that "I bet nobody expected us to be on 'ere tonight."
• The version of Sucking My Love on this album was previously released as a 12" single in 1983.
