Unearthed live recording from the ITV archives. To be precise, this concert was recorded at the Nottingham Playhouse, UK on 28th July 1980, for ITV's Rockstage programme (aired in April 1981). It was a rare one-off summer show and they played two songs from the yet to be recorded album 'Organisation'. This is the first time that the original 'Enola Gay' (unfinished) version is released. Notice the absence of the drum machine, its slightly different structure and original verses. Then, despite the short set, the quality of the recording is surprisingly good. Lighting was less gloomy than the classic Theatre Royal Drury Lane 1981 concert.The CD/DVD version was released in 2015, with a CD version and LP version appearing the following year. The LP is, of course, a picture disc. Access All Areas refers to a unlimited backstage pass, also known as AAA. Access all Areas is also the name of a series of recordings from various acts.
