All but one of the 15 songs were recorded in concert for the BBC on December 8, 1982 (the one remaining track, a cover of Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm," was recorded on March 23, 1981 for a separate BBC broadcast).

This album was originally released as "Bye Bye Blues" on Arista Records in 1983. The album was re-released in 1992 by Demon Records and we added another six tracks from concert as CDs allow for more playing time that vinyl.
