Killing Joke
Bootleg Vinyl Archive Vol.1

Listening notes

Killing Joke's *Bootleg Vinyl Archive Vol.1* was released in 2007 by Candlelight Records USA under catalog number CDL0349CD. Despite its title suggesting a vinyl artifact, the release is a CD and is categorized under the genres of Industrial, Punk, and Rock.

The set is organized across three discs and draws from four named live sources. The first portion of disc one is labeled "Live In London" and runs thirteen tracks, opening with "Wardance" at 3:51 and closing with "Tension" at 3:59. A second section on disc one, labeled "Live At Venue," contributes six further tracks, among them "Tomorrow's World" at 5:02 and "Are You Receiving?" at 6:35, the latter of which continues into disc two. Disc two also includes a section labeled "Live At Odeon," spanning eleven tracks from "Wardance" through "The Wait." Disc three is drawn entirely from a source labeled "Porchester Hall 1988" and presents nine tracks, including "Night Time," "Love Like Blood," and "Extremities."

Across all three discs, certain titles recur in multiple versions sourced from different performances. "Wardance," "Change," "Unspeakable," "Exit," "Requiem," "Bloodsport," "Primitive," "The Wait," and "Pssyche" each appear more than once, allowing direct comparison of the same material across separate concerts. "Complications" appears twice, once on disc two from the "Live At Venue" source and once on disc two from the "Live At Odeon" source.

The total tracklist runs to forty-five entries across the four labeled concert sources. No personnel, recording dates beyond the 1988 Porchester Hall label, or venue locations beyond those noted in the section titles are confirmed in the available data. Fact checker should verify whether the "Live At Venue" designation refers to a specific named London club and whether disc two track sequencing reflects the original source ordering.
