Review

This is a compilation I made that gathers together the three songs from the video shoot, the five Polydor demos (the good quality ones from the London's Burning LP) and the material from the Cardiff 1977 CD. Simply for convenience as the three video shoot songs are scattered around on other boots. This CD makes a very good collection, as the live tracks are the best quality performances of first album songs, the rehearsal treacks are simply blistering and excellent variations and the demos are great quality. (For a review of the live tracks simply see the Cardiff 1977 page.)

Rated: 9 / 10
