NOTES

60 minutees

A tinny but remarkably well preserved audience recording with a fine blend of what would become the material for the “Dragnet” album and the “Witch Trials” and before era material.

Some impressive drumming from Leigh throughout and exceptional dexterity from Ms Pawlett on the keyboard.

Unfortunate that this iteration of the group only lasted eight gigs as the performance is exemplary and one wonders how “Dragnet” would have sounded with this line-up – Smith is in top form and the contrast between Bramah’s spidery guitar and Pawletts keyboard wash is excellent.

Essential listening.
