Notes
"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
- Arthur Schopenhauer

While Tangerine Tree I was somewhat focused on the mid-seventies, the second part, consisting of Volumes 9 to 16, features, among others, three complete concerts of 1981/1982. The first one, as Tangerine Tree Volume 10: Newcastle 1981, was part of the 1981 British Isles tour that took place between October 15th and 29th and included 15 concerts. In comparision to the European tour in January/February of the same year (see Tangerine Tree Volume 14: Paris 1981) the set was nearly totally rewritten. Only the last twenty minutes of the first set had survived, now being the closing part of the second main set, having the opening minute of Remote Viewing inserted before Force Majeure. The second set opened with an extended version of Mojave Plan from the forthcoming album White Eagle (1982), at the time unreleased. The first set consisted of completely new material, most of it still officially unreleased. Surprisingly, from today's view, with the exception of the short excerpt from Remote Viewing only the two encores Kiew Mission and Choronzon (the latter in a drastically extended version) were taken from the then current studio album Exit (1981).

This release made the bootleg Space & Spheres and the second half of Space Trucking obsolete, which were released on vinyl only and featured only parts of the concert. Furthermore they were recorded in mono, while the Tangerine Tree release now has stereo separation, and the tape speed has also been adjusted, because the original was 3-4 minutes too fast.

The track listing above shows the titles and track lengths of a re-indexed version and the revised artwork by Leah Cim. The track listing as printed on the original cover is as follows:

Logos Part One (Extended Version) 9:53
Sobornost (Edinburgh Castle) 7:55
Digital Times Suite 15:32
Bondy Parade 13:16
Mojave Plan 26:34
Thermal Inversion 11:30
Remote Viewing (Intro)
Force Majeure (Excerpt)
The Price 8:01
Kiew Mission (Encore) 7:17
Choronzon (Encore) 10:08

In 2004, all material of this volume has been made officially available through the release of The Bootleg Box Set Vol. 2.

With Tangerine Tree VIII, released in late 2005, the second CD-R of this volume has been re-released, featuring a sharper and more dynamic version of the second half this concert.
