'UNORTHODOX BEHAVIOUR' - tour

source
master LP > DAT > Soundforge9.0 > flac
This show was broadcasted by "Rock Around The World" on 76-Dec-5

note
two sources circulate for this: "Rock Around The World" (LP/SBD, 25m) and a high quality tape source (28m)
which does not contain the ROTW introduction that is on the LP source. This show was broadcast by "Rock Around The World" (Show #122 **) on 76-Dec-5,
which unfortunately is the date usually given to it. This is NOT the performance date. It's the broadcast date.
Adding additional confusion is the 76-May-12 date sometimes given to it. This is clearly just a misreading of the broadcast date.
All I know for sure is that this show is listed as being from Ronnie Scott's.
As I think their two week stint in 76-Sept was the only time they played at Ronnie Scott's (at least in 1976), I'm listing this generically as 76-Sept,
until more info surfaces (if ever). Genocide sounds like a BBC performance or studio outtake (fr 76-77) and is probably not from this show.

note #2:
Thanks to Kinebee - if it wasn't for your upload and willingness to share some great music, I wouldn't have been motivated to dig up my copy.
I have the Rock Around the World LP, one side of which is this Brand X performance. I transferred it to DAT about 14 years ago, and was able to find my copy,
which was a daunting task in itself. The record sounded very good, with a few ticks and some surface noise - which I removed with Soundforge 9.0,
although I think I erred on the side of not overdoing it. The clicks are gone, but very slight surface noise remains. Check the sample.
The is one of the best documents of early live Brand X, apart from Livestock, and Missing Period. :-)
This show is sometimes mistakingly given the date of December 1976, but that's probably when the show first aired. A good Brand X gigography by Dimer Scottstradez

Apparently on this stint of shows at Ronnie Scott's, Brand X was opening for Charles McPherson.
