This is a digitisation of this show that I received sometime in between late 1984 - 1985. The cassette literally hadn't been played in a quarter of a century and it sounded pretty good. Its a reasonable audience recording from that time and very listenable although the low end of the bass guitar is a quite low throughout. Plus it does have a bit of a layer of hiss on it and the occasional very small drop out but you soon forget about that as you get into the show. Check out the sample. The tunes here are early versions for the 'Movement' album. Highlights are 'Senses' and 'In a Lonely Place'. Surely this is pretty dark music, quite 'down' stuff but uplifting at the same time. I haven't seen this recording on DIME during the time I've been on here nor through searches - so hopefully its a first for it.
