After Dark is the first real live album by The Make-Up. Their first one Destination: Love - Live! At Cold Rice was recorded within a studio setting, it was done so with an eye towards spontaneity and improvisation. "Live" sounds were later mixed into the studio recording to reflect this.[2]

"Warning" on the inner sleeve of the LP version of After Dark.
