- Comments
- a) From John Peel - Altered Images 81 mixtape from Mark, who comments: "features the Mighty Wah!/Wah Heat! who at this time were merely Wah! Many mentions of his impending trip to Paris to see Liverpool in European Cup Final and need for a holiday … having messed up plans by arranging to take the John Peel roadshow to East Kilbride!”.
- b) Hinton Box recording concentrates on the Wah! session. Since both files are pause button edits, it is impossible to work out how they fit together. Some tracks appear on both.

- Altered Images, #2 (rpt). Recorded 1981-03-02. No known commercial release.
