Despite some mistakes, the printing/layout tries to mimic the look of the Priest remasters and is among the nicest I've seen on a bootleg.
Bootleg lists the date as July 23, 1981. Priest (with support from Iron Maiden) played the Palladium three consecutive nights, from July 22-24.
The audio on this bootleg was broadcast on the radio, and a radio LP was made for doing so. The July 22nd date is consistently associated with the radio broadcast (while the only references to the 23rd seem to be from bootlegs). That makes the July 22nd date seem more reasonable; however, it could also be a combination of both dates, as the recording is not without alterations...
"Genocide," "Exciter," and "The Ripper" are actually the "Unleashed in the East" live album versions. Keep in mind these tracks were added to the Palladium tracks for radio broadcast purposes; the bootlegger is not at fault. Also, the song order was obviously changed anyway, as Rob comments on the crowd's singing during "Breaking the Law" at the end of track 11. Some tracks have between-song edits.
There is an audio defect during the guitar intro to "Victim of Changes" at 0:20 where the sound speeds up for a second or two.
As shown above, there is no listing for a track 6 on the bootleg itself.
A more complete version of the same material is also on the earlier "The Priest is Back" bootleg 2CD.
