Notes

Almost complete concert recorded live at the Smart Bar, Chicago, August 11, 1985.
The studio track "Into The Groove" by Madonna, originally played for two minutes before "I Love Her All The Time", and a false start to "Kill Yr Idols" are missing.

Said to be the earliest known multitrack live recording of the band as per liner notes, the first two minutes of "Hallowe'en" are taken from an audience recording taped by the famous Chicago tapehead Aadam Jacobs.

An incomplete version of the multitrack recording was previously released in 1991 on the Anarchy On St. Mary’s Place unofficial CD release.
However this version includes the "Into The Groove" segment and the false start to "Kill Yr Idols" missing from the official release.

Released in gatefold sleeve.
Sticker on sealed issue reads: "Sonic Youth Smart Bar Chicago 1985 Includes Free Download Card".

Wonder if it was Thurston's idea to slap that sticker over his face. Hope they get back together. The band that is.

Moonshaper
totally weird that the photos on the front and back cover and inside the gatefold sleeve (and also on the dl card) are from another show in texas, and only the two bl/w photos inside are actually shot at the smart bar..

Stylish Monkey
This is an awesome live album and it should be noted that the download card is also a lovely postcard of a live shot from the show. Beautiful.

Cordantrius
I agree, and the thing about the download card is a small thing, but good to see someone taking the trouble.
