Release Information

  • Date:
  • Media: 2xLP
  • Catalogue number (comments): Bandido Records B007

Comments

  • Audience tape from 1983-08-10 at Pier 84 in New York, NY. The cover incorrectly identifies the date as 1983-11-24, when EC+A played in Lund, Sweden! EC+A are accompanied by The TKO Horns except on side 2.

Quality

  • Pretty good clarity, anemic bass, but the sound is consistent throughout. My ears adjusted easily (6/10). The performance is spirited, and if you like the horn section era then it's a must have - Jerry Haussler
