Plainly put, it's hard to find a better collection of live material of early 80s Punk/New Wave.
However, the live video collection is better, with more performances from even more obscure acts (any ever heard of Invisible Sex? All right then, they're in the video but not here). That version also benefits from the visual stimuli. However, the album still retains most of the greatness.
