Live ep, or as stated on the front cover sticker: Live Mini LP containing 4 tracks with a total running time at 26 mins. is recorded live at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland, Sep. 30, 1982 during the band's Avalon Tour.
The two strongest tracks - for which the album is almost essential - are the two cover-versions on the B-side: a nearly 8 mins. powerful version of Neil Young's majestic "Like a Hurricane" - in itself by Young a fantastic composition, and Roxy Music do fine justice to the intensity of the song, and then the more than 6½ mins. fine version of John Lennon's likewise classic "Jealous Guy" - two songs Roxy Music would often have on its set-list at concerts throughout the 80s.
The album has never been released in digital format but the same recordings have found their way to the lengthier live album Heart Still Beating (1990), which contains 14 tracks.
