This live album was released in ’77. I think it was recorded during the touring cycle for the Sunburst Finish album. Even though it’s a double album, Side 1 and 4 are the album but Side 2 and 3 are a live EP. No idea why it was done this way, but it makes it all a tad confusing. Also included are two never before released tracks, one from way before the first album, Mill Street Junction, and a new track at the time, Piece Of Mine.
I was a huge fan of the band, and it was a big shame that the band did not carry on longer before Bill went on his merry way. They were a great live band and Bill is a killer guitar player with a superb voice. There are four tracks from Sunburst Finish, which was their most successful album at the time – mainly due to the hit single Ships In The Night. Sister Seagull and Made In Heaven are two of my favourite Be Bop tracks and are on Side 2 of the EP – these tracks are just superb Live. Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape is one of my favourite tunes by any band ever and I love this version. The instrumental Shine is included, and Bill shows what a killer player he is as the track is one big jam. Killer band and a great live album.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
