Joe Jackson, Live 1980/86, 1988 on A&M

Recorded across four different tours in the early 80s, this double LP live album includes three versions of “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” on four sides – including an a cappella version and an acoustic version.

Great live album and surprisingly hearing three versions of the same song is actually really compelling and interesting if a bit indulgent.

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is an Electrosound Group Midwest pressing.
