additional information
This is the third tape logged in the Virgin Archive for Street Fighting Years. Recorded at Sarm during March 1988, it features many of the songs which featured on the album, some transitional songs, and some songs which never got past the recording stage.

These Monitor Mixes are probably the beginnings of Street Fighting Years itself but the songs themselves are still in a state of flux. All of the songs are clearly developing from take-to-take.

The quality is extremely good.

(The Virgin tape listing suggests Street Fighting Years is the final track, but it's actually another monitor mix of Power In The Darkness.)
