Oyster Band, Alive and Acoustic

 

UK (CD) Running Man RMCD 2 (June 1998)

 

Ecco il gruppo in una versione acustica che non dispiace affatto: soprattutto classici quali "I Look For You", The Story" e "Molly Bond", risultano piacevolmente efficaci. La qualità della registrazione è buona. La confezione curata da Jali Roll Martian, che si avvale delle fotografie di Steve Tolkien, è divertente.
