The digital broadcast by the BBC of 12 songs is mixed into the background of the audience 
recording to beef up the recording in places, and to cover up some crowd talking during Drive.
I hope it sounds OK for ya... Speaking of Drive, I don't think anyone noticed, but the BBC editors
spliced the second chorus over the first chorus, the cheek of it! I guess it was because on the night
there was large amount of delay/echo on the vocals at the start of Drive, they mixed it out a bit but
the audience recording captures it as it was.

No selling now, ya hear! The majority of the sound recording is still © Mr Abstract 2006.
