Recorded at the Camden Palace on 23 November 1984 for the television series Live In London, the concert dates from the period when Martyn was promoting his studio album ‘Sapphire’. The performance combines material from that album with songs from his earlier catalogue.

The CD features a new mix of the complete performance, created from the original multitrack tapes. It also adds two previously unreleased recordings, Johnny Too Bad and Dealer/Outside In. The Blu-ray contains the original nine-song television performance, newly mastered from the original video master tape.
