Counterfeit pressing showing no catalogue number on side 2 and other differences.

Live On Tour was recorded at the Agora in Cleveland on December 18, 1978 and published as PROMO LP for radio broadcast. It was never officially released for the public. Only three songs (The Girls Want To Be With The Girls, Electricity and Found A Job) were reprinted in the double live CD The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads; one song (Psycho Killer) was issued as a 7 promo single in UK. All the others are still officially unavailable elsewhere.

After the release of the official limited edition, a counterfeit LP appeared with the same catalogue number WBMS 104 RE-1 only on side 1, and some other slightly differences in the labels. The more evident is the blurred Bunny logo, while in the original has a sharp black outline, the texts are written in a lower and bolder font, the embossed circle in the label is larger, the space between the songs is larger, on side 2 there is no space between the first two songs, there is no STERLING mark in the runout.
Years later other counterfeits and fakes were pressed, some in pink vinyl and blurred Warner logo on the label, some in black vinyl and no logo.
