Brand X

Park West

Chicago, Illinois

September 25th 1979

This is a remastered FM recording.

Quite good sound but the first track cuts in

and there is a rather abrupt splice in the middle of the last track.

Solid performance, as always, from Brand X

with Phyllis Collins occupying the drumstool.

I saw them play a double bill with Bruford.

A little research suggests that was June 4th 1980

cited as Manchester Polytechnic Student Union.

If memory serves me it was at the long demolished venue

known as 'The Squat' on Devas Street which I think is now a car park.

It was a pay-on-the-door gig (for me at least)

When I handed over my £1.50, or whatever it was, they gave me this:

(they didn't give me 20p, that's just to provide scale) :)

I was less than impressed with this feeble piece of memorabilia.

It has, however, attained some sentimental value after 43 years!
