Ashley Hutchings All Stars, By Gloucester Docks I Sat Down and Wept - Live

 

Albino Music ALB009 (Cass, UK, 1994) - Road Goes On Forever RGF/AHCD 005 (CD, UK, 1999)

 

Nel 1999 Ashley Hutchings decide di pubblicare un live di dieci anni prima: nella versione studio il disco era già stato edito in formato vinile nel 1987. La particolarità di questo vinile è nelle tre bonus tracks iniziali. Bella la voce di Polly Bolton, sempre efficace il batterista Mattacks, interessanti alcuni arrangiamenti di John Sheperd, in particolare le tastiere di "Lies". La grafica del libretto è di Mike Kingston.
