307 1984 MTV Interview With Mark Goodman


NOTE:
Very nice sounding.
Bobby Jean is cut at start and Jungleland is cut at the end, the last track of the disc 3, is the interview
with Mark Goodman.
I edited the songs mixed the sound to eliminate the gap between them, I left both songs, both the original
ones, that the ones edited, to maintain the integrity of vinyls and have the constant sound in the CDs.


from Brucebase:
Audience tape. First "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" of the tour, and at the time the earliest known date 
they had ever performed the song ahead of Christmas - thanks Neal. Set also includes excellent versions 
of "State Trooper", "I Fought The Law" and "Point Blank". "Growin' Up" features the bear story. Released 
on CD 'Sounds Of Philadelphia' (Collectors Dream), CDR 'This Guns For Hire' (Tobler) and 5LP set 'This Guns 
For Hire (Paladin Records). Again taped by Mark Persic and newly available on excellent quality CDR 'The 
Last Time' (Ev2) - one of the best sounding recordings of the tour. This new version also available on CD 
'Philadelphia Special' (Godfather). Final show of a six night stand at the The Spectrum in Philadelphia.


from Brucelegs:
'Paladin' labels (have gun will travel), hard cartoon box. B/w photo with golden title on front. There are 
at least two versions of the label, other one came with two colour pictures. "Paladin labels" were put on 
first copies.
Some copies (not clear if they are a repress) had different Matrix - PAL A-J - and a stronger box.
Repressed on KANDO records, matrix HGWT1959, with different disc labels (Wire P) and matrix numbers. 
Some pressings have blank-black labels. Rear cover on 1 gold version is different, with additional ornaments. 
The Wire P labels has phrases from each song in place of the right song title, so "Dancing in the dark" is 
"This guns for hire" and "Candy's room" is "The blood rushs in my vains" : who wrote them obviously was not 
speaking english (in the better case).
