notes:
track 01: (Gunter) "The first part sounds similar to live versions of
Dizzy Dizzy, from the 75 tours. My best guess for the real origin of
this show would be somewhere in Germany, ca 1974 or 75, with the 4 core
members. Bass is clearly Holger, not Rosko. Some hostile (or drunk ?)
members of the crowd yell out after the first part: Buh, Aufh?ren ! This
is German for, Booh, stop it !!!???? It is clearly more then just one
person yelling German abuse at the band, making an English venue
unlikely ".
TRACK 02 (wreka): "recorded live at sutton coldfield slipper baths [the
date i have is 26 august 1976, but this might be wrong] "
TRACK 03: (Gunter): "Beginning sounds like it is maybe the opener of a
show, with the band just coming on stage. The feel of the track is a
lot more 76 or 77, probably Rosko on bass. Some faint noises, then
voices, probably coming from Holger's tapes and short wave receiver are
audible from 5'30'' " .
(Wreka): "recorded live at new victoria, london, 21 december 1976"
track 04: "Rhythm at the beginning is clearly of Vitamin C. Michael
asks in German whether somebody can get some wine for the band. Maybe
again clue for a German venue, Michael would not have had any problems to
ask for wine in English".
Track 05: (Gunter): "Clearly CAN with Rosko on bass and Holger
operating his tapes - shortwave Receiver".
(Wreka) "recorded live at stoke latines [date unknown]
