This show was first released many years ago, on a 2lp vinyl album called 'Zoom Queen'. Later on, released on 2cd by Japanese Wardour label, with title 'Operatic Afternoon'. I'm not sure if this release included the tape used on previously released bootlegs.

Bonus tracks from the April 4th, Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo performance.
