Quality = Some of the earlier clips are fair and not too clear in places but not unlistenable. Overall though the quality is very good and is a nice interview retrospective from the early days to the solo days.

* Japanese Radio Interviews = 80/03/18 Jam Jam Eleven DJ: Ann Lewis David(Telephone Interview) 8min, ‘80 Radio Kansai "All American Top 40" DJ: Reiko Suma about "Quiet Life" Guest: JAPAN 15min, '81 program name unknown.

Quality = The tape speed is fast for all ’79 interviews, the others are good. ‘Euro’ and ‘Quiet’ sound fair (probably from a video source, not ‘European Son’ boot as ‘Quiet Life’ is the full version).

* Old Grey Whistle Test & more = A Foreign Place, The Width of a Room, Experience of Swimming, The Tenant, Life in Tokyo Pt 2, Voices Raised..., Oil on Canvas, Swing (OGWT - 12/20/80), Nightporter (OGWT - 10/22/82), Ghosts (OGWT - 3/4/82), Cantonese Boy (OGWT - 3/4/82), In Vogue, Ghosts (Riverside - 12/82), Other Side of Life (Riverside - 12/82).

* London, England – Hammersmith Odeon (Opening for B.O.C.) 6/4 = Heartbreaker (starts after a few lines of the song), Suburban Love, Ballad/Suburban Berlin, Don’t Rain on My Parade, Adolescent Sex. Quality = Fair recording. Funny to hear the audience heckle them during the ‘Ballad’.

* Belgium – Bilzen Festival 7/12 = Love is Infectious, Communist China, Obscure Alternatives, Heartbreaker, Suburban Love, Television (about half of the song), Adolescent Sex (starts toward end of song, only about 40 seconds worth of the song is here), The Unconventional (about 1 ½ min of the song). Quality = REALLY HORRIBLE!!! Doesn’t even become listenable until ‘Heartbreaker’ and even then it is very poor. Then the other songs you can hear are mostly cut up (which is a damn shame with Television!) so this show is quite pointless unless you just HAVE to have it!

* London, England - Camden Music Machine 7/31 = Love is Infectious, Communist China, Obscure Alternatives, Heartbreaker, Suburban Love, Suburban Berlin, Sometimes I Feel So Low, Adolescent Sex, The Unconventional, Don’t Rain on My Parade. Quality =Surprisingly very good for such an old recording!

* London, England – Lyceum 11/26/78 = Don’t Rain On My Parade, Obscure Alternatives, Love is Infectious, Deviation, Suburban Love, Suburban Berlin, Rhodesia, Sometimes I Feel So Low. Quality = Poor audience recording. Get this one only if you HAVE to have it!

Quality = The first 10 tracks are excellent. The first TV appearance is mono, The second starts Quiet Life well into the first verse but the sound is great on these.

* ‘Big in Japan’ Budokan Tokyo, Japan – 3/6/79 = Don’t Rain On My Parade, Obscure Alternatives, Love is Infectious, Deviation, European Son, Suburban Love, Ballad/Suburban Berlin, Adolescent Sex, The Unconventional, Automatic Gun.

* Maarsseveense Plassen, Amsterdam 6/16/79 = Halloween (cuts in middle of song), Suburban Berlin, Automatic Gun, Deviation, …Rhodesia (At this point David can barely sing and stops singing entirely by the end of the song. He then announces the show is to be cut as he can no longer sing.). Quality = Fair audience recording.

Disc 2 = Halloween, Sometimes I Feel So Low, Communist China, Adolescent Sex, Automatic Gun, Suburban Berlin. + Stateline (live?), Adolescent Sex, European Son + Red Flexi of David reading lyrics in Japanese.

Disc 2 - European Son, Life In Tokyo, Adolescent Sex, Automatic Gun. Quality = This is the exact same show as ‘Oriental Performance’ but this version is COMPLETE!

* ‘Kyoto’ Tokyo, Japan – Budokan - 2/25 = Disc 1 - Burning Bridges, Swing, Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Alien, …Rhodesia, Quiet Life, My New Career, Obscure Alternatives + Interview from @1982. Disc 2 - Taking Islands in Africa, Methods of Dance, Ain’t That Peculiar, Sometimes I Feel So Low, Halloween, European Son, Life In Tokyo, Adolescent Sex, Automatic Gun. Quality = This is the exact same show as ‘Oriental Performance’ and the other Budokan show but this version is poorer quality than the others. It also is not from Kyoto as the title leads you to believe! Only interesting for the interview (which is poor quality also) and even that gets to be tedious listening as the sound is so bad. The concert is a fair recording.
