additional information
This is the seventeen tape logged in the Virgin Archive for Street Fighting Years. Recorded at Sarm and Bonnie Wee Studios during December 1988, it features several tracks nearing completion.

The recording of Take A Step Back is particuarly interesting as it features a rough jam of Kick It In as its coda.

The quality is excellent.

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

additional information
This is the seventeen tape logged in the Virgin Archive for Street Fighting Years. Recorded at Sarm and Bonnie Wee Studios during December 1988, and features tracks nearing completion.

Most of the tracks on this tape have been featured before as various roughs. But several now have orchestral overdubs and/or extra percussion and keyboards. These are highlighted by their loudness as they dominate the mixes and the fact that the new additions are in the right stereo channel only whilst the original track plays away in the left stereo channel.

The Virgin track-listing is incorrect near the end of the tape.

The quality is very good.
