[edit] Details

The album was recorded on 4-5 November 1983 at Geoff Mann's last dates as a member of the band. Earlier in the year, Geoff had announced his wish to leave the band and this album marked his departure.

The End Of The Endless Majority was recorded during the soundcheck on 5 November 1983, to an audience of about five people. During the soundcheck on one of the two dates, Deep In The Heartland was also recorded, but remains unreleased.

Before there was a deal with Music For Nations to release this album, it was going to be on the band's own label, Twelfth Night Records, catalog number TN-007. Because of that catalog number, the band wanted to have the title of the album to refer to a James Bond title, and Live And Let Live was chosen.
