Catalog Number:       

Date Recorded:         5 January 1981  

Release Date:         

Notes:                 Venue - Moonlight Club - West Hamstead – London, Support –

                       Zeitgeist. Svor Naan noted “I think this relates to the

                       second performance here. [the first was 6 February 1980].

1)    a broken spring or whatever on my Saxophone meant that

                       some of the songs had to be dropped

2)    a spot light so intense as to make the sun pale in

                       comparison. It must surely have been purloined from a football

                       stadium. It was certainly unsuitable for the size of venue. It

                       was impossible to look forward from the stage so I had to turn

                       my back throughout. A very miserable gig.”

                       back cover it is stated that this LP is the first

                       collaboration of the D.c.L (DadaCravat Laboratories) and

                       Corpus Christi. Run-off groove notation on LP:
