This recording comprises some of the earliest Nitzer Ebb material ever; Basic Pain Procedure was a cassette-only release until 2012, when Pylon Records released it on vinyl. This recording was primarily a tool to attract attention from record labels, but was also available for purchase at the time. It was recorded in the Essex countryside in 1983, a year after the band played their first-ever show at the Chelmsford YMCA, and was virtually the extent of their live set at the time.

The live recording is from December 9, 1983, at the Chelmer Institute of Higher Education. Featured here are two live songs that have not been released before: A Whiter Shade of Pale and Smear Body.
