Japanese bootleg. All of the EP material was sourced from vinyl, but sounds fine aside from a few crackles/pops.
No date information is given for tracks 1-6. These Reading live tracks were broadcast on BBC radio, and you can hear a bit of the radio announcer at the end of track 6. There are split-second breaks/hiccups between all of the live tracks during the stage banter/dead time, but they don't match up to the track indexing breaks on the CD. This is possibly how they were edited for radio broadcast, or the way the tracks were divided up on their source material. I'm not sure if any material was edited out, but to me it doesn't really sound like it. However, the radio broadcast tracks are not the complete Reading set. They apparently played 10 tracks, including "Raining In Kensington," "A Question of Time," and some additional tracks from the "Time Tells No Lies" LP, which are missing here. "Flirting with Suicide" was the encore.
What's written above for track 2 is what appears on the bootleg tracklisting, making it seem like it all refers to one track. But "I Know It" was actually later retitled "Time Slipping Away," and this is what the bootlegger is probably trying to note.
This is a minor detail, but the bootleg lists tracks 7-9 as coming from the Soundhouse Tapes 12". This is correct, as the "Captured City" EP was part of the Soundhouse Tapes series, but "Captured City" is the specific EP title.
Tracks 13 and 14 (the live tracks from the double 7") were recorded at the Marquee, London, but I have no specific date information for them.
