Memories and notes
This was the first of two Cardiacs shows at the Marquee Club in May 1987.
The recording is especially notable for preserving the only known complete circulating version of the early, abridged arrangement of The Stench of Honey. This version was played only a handful of times in 1987 and may not have been performed again afterwards.
Around fifteen seconds into Tarred and Feathered, the original recording becomes very quiet for a moment before gradually returning to normal level. The circulating version includes an attempted repair of this defect.
