Lot Essay

These recordings, dated two weeks apart, demonstrate ...the great variety and confidence of a band which consistently renewed its repertoire.. 1984's Dave Dilloway described these recordings as ...domestic quality, single microphone recordings of early-era 1984...It's mostly bluesy material with some soul and Beatles songs. While the quality is basic, the sound is intelligible, although there isn't a large amount of identifiable Brian guitarwork. That came later in the band's history, when we included covers of Cream and Hendrix. Brian's solo vocals on 'Yesterday'... are quite clear, however...
