Memories and notes
This is the second surviving recorded Cardiac Arrest concert currently known to circulate.
The recording preserves further material from the band's early The Obvious Identity period, including the only known recording of a short, officially untitled piece commonly referred to by fans as A Little Rubbish.
The sound is lo-fi but generally listenable. The drums can become quite loud and some background noise is present.
Leaf Scrapings survives only as an introduction, while the first appearance of A Balloon for Bertie's Party is a brief snippet. Tracks 2 and 3 originally circulated together and were separated on 8 July 2024.
