about

This was our 7th album and our second "live" effort. Not too embarrassing but I'm not the only musician to question intros on an "audience album". Let me tell you, the intros can make you cringe a bit, 45 years later.
It was recorded at the Phoenix Theatre, Leicester and the audience was magic. This was the only "live" album we recorded over a period of two nights and the first night wasn't great. We had a listen in the mobile recording studio and made adjustments, technically and artistically and then told a "whopper" to the audience on the second night, telling them we had great recordings of all the songs and "tonight we'll just have some fun". We did. It got to be known as "the live album with the whale story" but the singing was good and the introductions, though embarrassing now, worked OK. Dave Moses was brilliant again and although it's an album of its time, I think it "stands up" even now. Brother Dougie took the cover photographs and I did the cutting-out stuff at the front but couldn't resist retouching, on Photoshop, some of the scissor inaccuracies on the collage, just for Bandcamp.
