Great compilation! Worth having at the time for the two "previously unreleased" tracks.

As good a Reading lineup as there EVER was.

Only now am I realising that I missed Phil Manzanera's 801 in Southampton, because I was seeing Otway & Barrett in Portsmouth.

I will, when it gets here...

I'm not sure if I ever heard them, but they always had distinctive cover artwork.

I had my flu and COVID jabs on Saturday. Needless to say, Sunday was a write-off.

I saw them a couple of times when they were still playing smaller venues. I thought they were great in the early days. But you'd have to drag me screaming to see anything happening in a stadium.
