Comments:

Like several other titles from this label, I have listed the available date as 1988 it is likely that the disc production date of 1987 is incorrect,as also appears on 1989 and 1990 artwork.

We have two very similar releases, and have decided that the French copy is likely to be of an earlier pressing. This is based upon a detailed review of Palais de Sports Paris where the artwork is somewhat sharper. Assuming that the artwork timings are correct , this title also has two alternate masterings.

The material is sourced from vinyl and whilst nice to have on CD when it first appeared it was not long until the material turned up from an excellent mono video source on The Swingin' Pig's title Five Nights In A Judo Arena including both the intro and a bonus interview.

If you are a label collector I would look for the latter pressing, as the Polydor pressing discs of this period have been known to get 'CD ROT' aka 'bronzing , where the aluminum reflective surface breaks down and after all isn't it about the music.

The Italian Pressing of Palais de Sports Paris was imported into Japan, and received an ANF label Obi and lyric sheet, I assume this to be true also of this release and would request any images to the usual address.
