Made in the EU

A 48 track production recorded and mixed at Advision Studios, London between May 18, 1976 and June 30, 1977
First released June 9, 1978

Dedication: "To my father, this rendering of his idea"

The tracklist in the booklet gives track 2-6 as two seperate tracks and identifies these as track 6 "Dead London (Part 1)" and track 7 "Dead London (Part 2)" but in fact the CD only contains one contiguous track.
The duration of track 2-7 as given in the booklet (1:50) is inaccurate.
