Review:
The Horse and Groom gig is nice and clear; you can even hear James mumble "thanks - that's the most applause we've ever had" to the 10-odd people who are in the audience. The early set is stormed through at such a pace you can almost hear those tight white jeans. The live versions of MASH and Motorcycle Emptiness aren't of great quality, but as the CD case says, "the historical importance of these recordings over-rides the sound quality of some of them". The Michael Stipe comment appears on its own track, and there's a version of Sorrow 16 which ends halfway through in a mess of feedback, smashing of equipment and James bawling swear words at the crowd.
