Plastic People of the Universe

I think the release information of this album is wrong:

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=14166

It says:
"Recorded in 1980 and released by Globus as part of an 8CD boxed-set in 1992"

On my copy (released 1998) it says in the booklet that there were two previous releases, one in 1980 and one in 1992. All three releases, however, are based on the same mastertape that was recorded in the summer house of Vaclav Havel in Hrádeček, in May 1978.

Thanks Snow Dog! ClemofNazareth already made the first corrections, removing the "recorded in 1980". We wrote PMs already.
Actually, I would not trust wiki that much (in another thread I explained why).
I am not sure, if it is also of interest to note on this PA site that it was recorded in 1978. But, of course, they could not officially release it. Plastic People were a "forbidden" band. They could release it in the West in 1980. In Czechoslovakia their tapes were distributed in secret. I know it from own research (I am studying czech language and literature, and I am focussing on Prague Spring and Charter 77).
