additional information
This is the tenth tape logged in the Virgin Archive for Street Fighting Years. Recorded at Sarm during July 1988, it features some of the songs which featured on the album, and some ideas which never made it.

Most of the songs are instrumentals, but the arrangements suggest preparations before final recording. This would also mark the last time Power In The Darkness and People Stand Up Again were recorded - they were abandoned shortly afterwards. Special mention must go to the rocking version of Sun City which is an exceptionally good outtake.

The quality is extremely good.

The tape was too long to fit on one CD so the rest was transfered onto a second.

additional information
The continuation of the tenth tape includes material that was eventually released.

Both Take A step Back and Soul Crying Out have almost reached their final forms. But the tape yields other surprises as it also includes some undocumented tracks: another version of Mandela Day with a different vocal take; and a rough version of The Beautiful Circle.

The quality is extremely good.
