Many thanks to the masterers, remasterers and contributors to the above releases. 

A complete soundboard or other pro-recording from a Mama tour show has long eluded fans. With the official soundboard project now seemingly buried and other soundboards languishing in the realms of rumour, I thought I'd create this release.It collates recordings from several dates and reaches back into Genesis' tour history to fill in the gaps. The most notable 'gap' is the first medley, which had several incarnations during the tour.  Because I based this release on the Philadelphia show of 27 November 1983 (and used the available pre-FM, remastered by Coaster Factory), I recreated the medley of that period. To do this I had to find a show in which all three songs were played so that the audio would be of like sound and quality. This meant going all the way back to a Wind and Wuthering show. Not ideal, given the differing band line-ups, but I hope you'll enter into the imaginary nature of this exercise and willinging suspend your disbeliefs.

This release should no means be seen as a professional compilation; it is really just a bit of fun.
