""Handsome Devils" and its reissue in a better sleeve "Live In Derby Dec 7th 1983" are the most common. They are on compact disc but the sound quality isn't as good as on the LP bootlegs mentioned further down. The complete show is coupled on these cds with seven tracks from 21 April 1984 in Amsterdam.
Portions of this concert have been released on the following bootlegs: [[Boyfriend In A Coma (LP bootleg)|Boyfriend In A Coma]] bootleg LP.


""Sorrow's Son", "Devil's Charm" and "Derby Assembly Room" are on LP but the sound quality is better than for the previous cds. The latter two are nearly impossible to find but "Sorrow's Son" was transfered on homemade CD-Rs and is reasonably easy to find as such if one knows where to look. Other very good fanmade recordings can be found under the titles "The Old Grey Whistle Test" and "Life Is A Miserable Lie". The recording available on "Devil's Charm" is paired with a concert from 19 December 1983."<ref name=pjlm-bnotes />
