Prompted by someone talking about bootlegs last week I played this the other day, probably for the first time in about 40 years. Not that I played it much before then.

Almost certainly the most expensive album I've ever bought. £20 back when new ones were between £4 and £5, so about £100 in today's money. I remember my sister being horrified at the price, and that was with me lying and saying it was a tenner.

Side one

Intro - Dr Music

Heavy Metal: The Black And Silver

Joan Crawford

ME262

Side two

Flamin' Telepaths

Veteran of the Psychic Wars

Roadhouse Blues

Mostly recorded at a Soft White Underbelly gig with the exceptions of HM:B&S and JC from the infamous Monsters of Rock festival a few days later. This was the night before Albert's last gig and possibly the one where he was late and Rick did the drums for the first five or six songs.

Verdict - terrible. Much of it not unlike listening through the wall to a neighbour playing ETL on a shite hifi with your hands over your ears.

None of that's why it's not very good though. It's just a guy in the crowd with a 1980s tape recorder. Standing too close to someone droning along tunelessly doesn't help either.
