Comment(Pyroman):
Nice bootleg.
The sound quality could have been better,
but it has a lot of rare songs that make this recording really worth having,
like Real Girl, Me And My Friends and the Chuck Berry cover Nadine.
Also an early version of Portobello Belle.

Comment(J.V.TOL):
Recording from Barbarella's in Birmingham 1978,
some very rare songs, for example an ultra rare version of Me and my friends, Real girl and Nadine.
Also one of the earliest versions of Portobello belle.
Complete show

Enlight note:
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there's hope later for Capricorns
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get home
Then she's reading about a swing to the right
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night (M.K.)
Enjoy and take care
