Recording info:
Recorded at Suite 16, Rochdale and The King's Theatre, Edinburgh mid-late 1988.

Notes:
The LP has a brief uncredited excerpt of track 12 (1:04) at the end of side 2. The CD versions of tracks 3, 5, 6 & 7 are live versions of the songs from performances of the "I Am Curious, Orange" ballet at The King's Theatre, Edinburgh which ran from 15-20 August 1988. Title oddities: track 1 is called New Big Prize on the record label; track 6 is 2080 AD on the LP, but 2088 AD on cassette and CD. The CD was re-pressed in 1988 and 1997 as a budget price release with a different catalogue number (BBL96CD), but the tracklisting and artwork otherwise remained the same as the original CD.
