Poland - The Warsaw Concert is the twenty-fourth major release and fifth live album by Tangerine Dream.[6] It spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 90.
All tracks are written by Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling.
| No. | Title | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | "Poland" | 22:36 |
| 2. | "Tangent" | 19:55 |
| 3. | "Barbakane" | 18:04 |
| 4. | "Horizon" | 21:10 |
The four tracks consist of 3-4 distinct sections each. The third and fourth sections of "Tangent" were entitled "Polish Dance" and "Rare Bird" when both appeared on the B-side of the 12" single release of "Warsaw In The Sun", which is the second section of "Barbakane" in remixed form.
"Barbakane" was shortened to 13:52 on most CD reissues, in order to fit the 80-minute time restraint of the CD, and to avoid having to issue a double disc version.
Out of twelve CD releases, only three issues have the complete album:
- (1984) Jive/Teldec 8.28638
- (1984) Relativity 88561-8045-2, re-released in 1993
- (2011) Reactive EREACD 2018
All other issues have the truncated version of "Barbakane". Some releases remove "Tangent" altogether.
It was also available as a limited edition picture disc which feature the cover photos directly on the vinyl.
