Correct track order.

Contains the live performance debut of The Embryo (BBC debut performance 68-Dec-2)
and the supposedly 2nd performance (and earliest known recorded performance)
of AHM.  Also has a rare performance of the Violent Sequence, Main Theme 
(earliest known recorded performance of both), and Biding My Time.
This is a great, historic performance.

This is an improvement over the Biding My Time In Croydon 
and Heart Beat Pig Meat releases.


Notes that came with this recording:

An interesting thing about this recording is the running order, which 
seems to be the correct one according to "In The Flesh." Unfortunately, 
'Atom Heart Mother', the earliest known audience recording of this song, 
still runs a little short. As for sound quality, it is at best average... 
VG- to VG seems like a good rating. It's very listenable, cymbals come 
through nicely. It's quite comparable to Biding My Time In Croydon, but 
this doesn't have as much hiss and is in the right running order.

The tracks do not include tuneups, since there is evidence that the 
taper stopped his recorder between songs. The recording levels are 
occasionally inconsistent as well. Still, it's very nice to have this 
show in the proper order.
