Memories and notes
This Riverside Club performance preserves the earliest known recorded live appearances of several then-unreleased songs: both parts of The Breakfast Line, In a City Lining, All His Geese Are Swans and The Whole World Window.
It is also the only known occasion on which The Breakfast Line (Pt. 1) was performed on its own.
The recording has a full and highly enjoyable sound. During In a City Lining, the audio becomes very quiet in the left channel for around ten seconds. The circulating repaired version removes the affected left channel and converts the right channel to mono for that section. The original uncorrected file was also preserved separately.
It's a Lovely Day cuts out at the very end, with only around ten seconds missing.
