NOTES

56 minutes

Radio Broadcast

Pristine radio capture, guitars are a tad loud and drown out other instruments in places, but generally a very good recording. One gripe might be that MES is a tad tinny.

Most of TNSG in a live setting and with much more brisk reading of key tracks. If you want to do a forensic analysis of the group live then this is the one to listen to. Fascinating to hear for example the complex interplay between instruments on the slow parts of Barmy.

The highlight for me is a superb “Petty Thief Lout” which is a masterful piece of playing

Highly recommended as a capture of the group in fine form.
