Issued as both a single disc and an extremely limited double disc version, the first disc is a collection of live recordings from Grand Slam's first three concerts, recorded from 30 March to 1 April in various Irish locations, including Galway and Castlebar. Indeed, Lynott explains at the end of "Yellow Pearl" that the reason for the number of covers they performed was because "this is only the second gig", meaning the band had not had the chance to write enough of their own material.

The second disc is a 'Video CD' recording of their set at the Nostell Priory Festival in Wakefield on 27 August 1984.
