The CDr contains four more live tracks. Two from the Hanna Hanna 12" single and two from the You Did Cut Me 2x7" single.
Here is the link to the loseless files:

China Crisis played a support for Simple Minds, whom played the Rotterdam Ahoy for two successive nights. The broadcast of the show was of the first night.
What no-one expected was the great enthusiastic response of the crowd, who demanded an encore. The band came back on stage and played Red Sails, which unfortunately was not broadcasted.
The next evening Simple Minds demanded that the band did not play an encore how hard the crowd would scream for it.
The next year CC returned to the Netherlands to play Pinkpop. After that, according to Setlist.fm, it took them thirty years to return to the Netherlands again.
I know this is not true, since I remember the band played some acoustic shows in the nineties.
The first time I saw the band was in Sheffield on the 13th of December 2002. Since they returned to the Netherlands, I visit nearly every show at the boerderij in Zoetermeer.
