The band recorded and mixed enough material from these performances for a triple LP, but for marketing reasons kept it to a double album. Three of the unused tracks were included on their 1981 album Hoy-Hoy!. The rest (as well as those three) were eventually released on the 2002 "Deluxe edition" CD.
