I believe that the first two tracks are the studio versions of Back in the Box,
and Treadmill (which they did play on that tour, but they had already recorded
them, so they put these studio versions on -- I remember that the live Back in
the Box was a lot different than the studio....no Brock "rap" at the end, but
rather the bizarre banter between Harvey and Bridgett like on the Live Legends
video, although they had an actual box on stage as opposed to the post/body
wrap thing).  The rest is live I believe, and *maybe* has been reworked/
overdubbed afterwards, I don't know....it does sound very clean.  I think there
may have been a discussion about this once before here on boc-l.

And yes, that is Simon guesting on that album....if you haven't already, you
should pick up the Live Legends/Nottingham video....the version of Wind of
Change is excellent.  Simon sounds great!!

The Business Trip is very good quality as well....similar I think to PS.
