Another CD from that wonderful anonymous Japanese NWOBHM bootlegger. Although listed as a s/t CD on the spine and also in the release list of the bootlegger's other CDs, the CD is commonly referred to as "Take No Prisoners" due to the cover, which is just the EP cover. The EP back cover is also on the back cover of the boot's booklet.
Although the original bootleg is a factory-pressed silver CD, apparently the band themselves sold their own CD-R version.
Tracks 6-19 are listed on the bootleg as all being live. No recording information is given. Since tracks 6-8 have no stage banter, no crowd noise, and are played rather precisely, I believe these are from the band's BBC Radio 1 sessions. I'm not positive on the date for them. Also, when listening to them, it sounds to me like track 8 is just a much lower quality version of track 3.
Tracks 9-19 are "real" live tracks. Since the announcer introduces the band as being from Ireland, they're probably in England. These tracks are almost certainly from one of the band's shows supporting Thin Lizzy in 1981. Although I can't verify it, I would lean towards the Nov. 27 show at the Hammersmith Odeon (I believe they also actually played Hammersmith from the 25-28th), only because Thin Lizzy was taped that night and there are bootlegs of their show.
There's a short drop-out at 0:57 of track 9.
The live version of "Take No Prisoners" cuts off at the very, very end, and then there's about 7 seconds of silence before track 17 begins.
