Unfortunately, this is only a portion of the full concert. (According to setlist.fm, at least, which lists 17 songs.) It looks like the band was only given a half an hour time slot on the radio, so when that time ran out, the DJ faded out the song that was playing and started talking over it. That song happened to be "Rejoice." So I found another live version from 1981 and I used that to fill in the missing ending.
The song "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" also had issues. There were some spots where the volume suddenly dropped way down. I tried to fix that by bringing the volume up to the rest, but those bits still some somewhat muffled compared to the rest. Additionally, this song also got cut off near the end. So I did the exact same thing as "Rejoice" and filled in the end from a different 1981 concert. That's why those two songs have "[Edit]" in their titles.
This recording remains completely unreleased, as far as I know. However, the sound quality is about the same as that of a soundboard bootleg.
According to the full set list, the band played a bunch of songs from their second album, "October." But only two happened to make it here, "With a Shout" and "Rejoice."
This album is 32 minutes long. (It's a bit over half an hour due to the missing bits I filled in.)
