Stockholm & Göteborg

Featured on the album is "Erk Gah", a never before released Tim Hodgkinson composition that was performed live regularly by the band between 1976 and 1978,[2] but never recorded in the studio.

[4] "Ottawa Song" is from an earlier concert in Hamburg with Dagmar Krause and John Greaves sharing the vocals, and was included on this CD by accident after having gotten mixed up with the Stockholm and Göteborg tapes.

Henry Cow performed the Gothenburg concert as the same quartet of Lindsay Cooper, Chris Cutler, Frith and Hodgkinson that had played at Trondheim two days previously (featured on Volume 4–5 of the 40th Anniversary Box Set).

"[8] Colli was a little more critical of "No More Songs", opining that when Henry Cow played rock music, they tended to be too "rigid and stiff, absolutely out of their depth, like classical musicians doing their best.

"[8] He also complained that Hodgkinson's "Erk Gah" sounds a little too similar to his "Living in the Heart of the Beast", and found Krause's singing "quite heavy" and "bordering on kitsch in its emphasis".

A new CD inlay with revised and corrected liner notes was supplied with The 40th Anniversary Henry Cow Box Set that was released in January 2009.
