Gotta Let This Hen Out!
Album and video containing recordings made live at the Marquee, April 1985. The video edition includes additional film material and songs. Six tracks from the set were issued on 12-inch picture disc, under the title Exploding in Silence, and subsequent re-issues of the album have added these recordings as bonus tracks.

Notes: Concert titles interspersed with videos and footage of earlier songs such as "I Often Dream of Trains". "Ghost Ship", as yet not available elsewhere, appears in five main sections (unlisted on the cover). The first and last of these have the audio running in reverse, so the unknown song is scarcely recognisable. Three tracks from the LP are not included here.
