1990 World Violation Tour Backing Tapes
The backing tapes for the 1990 World Violation Tour have been circulating in poor quality on unknown generation audio cassette since the early 90s. The webmaster had the opportunity to transfer a very good sounding second-generation copy of the backing tapes, of which two minute excerpts of each track are provided below for your listening enjoyment. Many thanks to a kind collector for his generously lending his tapes to transfer.
Background
The second-generation cassette tapes this audio is sourced from.
Some info regarding what is audible on the backing tapes and how they came to circulate fairly publicly is at Shunt Q&A - LIVE - live albums / versions / performance:

On the 'World Violation' backing tapes, one can hear drums on 'Clean' and a guitar on 'Personal Jesus' mixed very low. Were they there for back-up or to flesh out the live sound or have I been imagining things?
Alan: The extra sounds you heard were never audible through the P.A. system. They were back-up sounds in case of breakdown.

You've answered questions regarding the 'World Violation' tour backing tapes before but what has always puzzled me was how / why they made available to the public. I know they weren't officially released, so how were they 'leaked' to whoever distributes them? Even *I* have a copy! ;-)
Alan: I have absolutely no idea. It is usually necessary for a few cassettes or Dats of the backing tapes to be made for various people to listen to (same applies to demos etc.). These inevitably get left lying around before falling into the wrong hands.
From what I can guess and understand, those parts mentioned by Peter above are audible on the cassette copies of the backing tapes floating around because they are stereo mixdowns from the original multitrack backing tracks - I'm sure the "back-up" tracks were simply muted during playback during the actual live concert. Of course, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
