Stewart-
Did you work in a record store in 1973/4 ? I have all those Virgin releases
too. Plus loads of posters and such.
I actually had Hatfield on my list, and nearly put Henry Cow up too. My Cale
choice would have been Church Of Anthrax, but I decided to go to the source
with TR.... an old girlfriend of my studied with TR at Mills College in
Oakland back in...oooh 1975?or 6?. One of those missing years..
Just been listening to the newest KC live release. It's the second or third
gig with the Lark's Tongue band when Jamie Muir was still with them. It's a
lot more intense, lots of noise and unexpected bits that didn't make it to
the album.
