By providing more songs from each year, this album solves some of my issues with the Live 1980 to 1986 album.

With albums like this, there is inevitably some duplication of songs and probably the most irritating is the way Fools In Love repeats fairly quickly on CD 1.

Despite my niggles, this is another excellent recording from Joe Jackson.
