Bass is very slightly distorted at times depending on the song due to cassette tape oversaturation, but it does not detract significantly from enjoyment of this recording the only tracks I noticed the distorted bass are "People Are People" and "Lie To Me".

Audience noise between "Everything Counts" and "See You" is crossfaded by the radio station with a spoken "DRS3" watermark in between. There are occasional whispered "DRS3" watermarks throughout the recording, as well as three louder spoken "DRS3" watermarks which do not interfere with the music. DRS3 recorded this concert and licensed this recording to Westwood One, and all available variants of the FM broadcast are derived from the DRS3 broadcast. This is the most complete version of this FM broadcast available, with no music missing whatsoever (after a few small patches using a pre-FM source).
