Your Silent Face

Fairly good melodica solo in this version.

BS: "Thank you."

Love Vigilantes

Single bass note, some silence, and the band start in, with the bass mostly unaccompanied by guitar during the introduction.

BS: "Turn down the guitar a little bit - the side fill."

Temptation follows.

The Perfect Kiss

(before start)
BS: "You made his fucking heart stop..."

Advert (bcingyou)

(during)
BS: "Andy(?), turn these fucking lights on."

Cut at 5:25, right before the synthesized frogs.

BS: "Thank you, thanks very much."

This Time Of Night

BS: "Turn the sequencers up, Ed. The bass amp."

Subculture

(at end)

BS: "Shh! Talking..." [cut in tape]

Let's Go

Second time this is ever played. My source has a right channel drop at 0:43 and between 0:51 - 1:30, again at 1:38 - 1:40. Left channel drop between 1:47 - 2:01.

Other versions do not have the dropout issue.

[ tape flip after Let's Go, sentence spoken cut on original audience version. A newer recording with this in it has recently resurfaced. ]

Sister Ray

(the ST version misses the first sentence here, thanks to bcingyou for the transcription)

BS: "Are you feeling comfortable?  We've never played here in Swansea before. We played in Cardiff but never played Swansea. Before we go any further... before we go any further... I'd like to apologize for the dirt on the jeans because I only brought one pair of pants to wear...or own. Is everybody ready? 1-2-3-4..." then Ceremony bass intro, breakdown.

BS: "We're not that good, didn't expect us to get it first time. Steve knows what we're doing."

The Sister Ray improv gets run through before things get sorted...

The band then commence into Ceremony proper. Bernard says something like "sit down" during the intro.

Face Up

BS: "My guitar is a...is a bastard. Can't play anything on it. But then again, I can't play anything on anything else. Very quiet in here, anyone else? Never played here in Swansea before, you know. So we got to try everything on some of you...and we'll try playing that."

Dropout in right channel from 1:09 - 2:10.

He makes a comment between verses. 

The Mayfair (bcingyou)

BS: "This is ba.. tr... next time."

lyric: "Don't let anybody tell you're a twat, because you're not that."

Sunrise

BS: "Almost apologize for the person who tuned my guitar...in murderous(?)".

BS: "Thanks very much. We're touched, we're... Thank you, Nick the DJ. See you after, Nick."

Age Of Consent

Bernard mutters something after the first verse.

The tape has the last part of the song (obviously a cut in this track) first, followed by the start of the song up until the break.

Blue Monday

Bernard comes in late on vocals, first line song is "You treat me like you do."

Copious use of the "screech" sample here.  The DJ then says something at the very end as the tape stops. "All right..."

Versions

AUD #1 - RJ  - Has NR'ed, Dolby C 'sound'.  Start of KW1 cut.  After further examination, it turns out dropdead and ST are *different* even though they share the same flip point (after Let's Go)...this version has a fadeout between TPK and TTON with fans chanting along with the intro.  It's also missing the intro of AoC.  Version used by Fractured/Image.

AUD #2 - unknown, originally surfaced in 2020, but likely circulated well before.  Includes compere intro and start of KW1 missing on others.  "Give us a song. Fizz!" at the start of Let's Go shouted out, also flip point at end, but with more talking preserved when the band does a "Sister Ray" vamp.  Same version used by 'The Cassette Converter'.

AUD #3 - unknown. Had thought this was same as AUD #1, but now taxonomied as a different version...does not have fadeout between TPK/TTON, though this also has start of KW1 cut and flip point after "Let's Go". AoC is complete on this one.
