DELUXE DOUBLE DIGIPACK

The music on this CD was recorded on a summer night at a then rather newly opened venue "Café Sommersko", in the heart of Copenhagen. In truth more that a café than a music club, with live music every Sunday, the space have been designed to reproduce the look and the atmosphere of a Parisian pavement Café, from the mirrored walls and red upholstered leather seats, to the Ricard ashtrays. However, it was soon found that the narrow court yard in the back functioned as a rather effective amplifier, causing the noise level to rise beyond the bearable along with the number of complaints from the other tenants of the building. This present recording only come to be with the special acceptance of the other occupants and was the very last concert suring the café's first tenure of live music.

The band have been in existence for just about half a year and within another six months or so, the personnel changed and the quintet's music evolved into something quite different.

Since all tracks are released for the first time, the usual standard information as to label issues and catalogue numbers, etc., is non-existing. Matrix numbers not assigned until present issue. Discographical set-up as designated by Brian Rust.
