The Tour took Swans to these countries: , Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, , Italy, Yugoslavia, England and to Scotland.

It’s evident that people are listing the reissue under this original pressing page, make sure you the seller first to make sure you’re buying the one you’re looking for! -
Edited one year agoI scored a decent copy (maybe two); early original pre-YGR; not the highest quality vinyl; thin sleeve; imperfect "official" bootleg recording(s), but d***ed good ones! This sounded absolutely fantastic on my Franken-Vintage system! Bass and drums thundering, guitars churning; keyboards stabbing; MG howling and wailing! Play loud. You have no choice... even if it hurts.
BTW ~ I have digital copy of this on CD, and the reissue CD. Both are great, but the vinyl making my house rumble certainly made me *feel good now*
EDIT --> It may be the RSO and whatever else in my system, but there is some nightmarish s*** on this! -
The poster alone is worth it, beautiful album. A great live album, a great performance, I keep coming back to it. It was not recorded perfectly, but that's part of it's charm for sure! -
A repressing possibly coming out next spring... available for pre-order from Japanese HMV (Mute STUMM466) -
Pretty sure this came out in 1988, not 87. I have no concrete evidence other than that I bought it on 11th October 88, and there is no way in the world I would have waited nearly a year before buying a Swans record. I think I was probably even queuing up waiting for Rough trade to open.....
