This was the Teardrops' first London gig and they appeared on the
same bill as Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen (also playing
their first gig in the capital). This is a stereo SBD recording but it is
pretty rough sounding. The instrument levels and positions fluctuate
uite a lot and the bass is distorted throughout. The keyboard and guitar
are quite distinctly recorded but the other instruments and occasionally
the vocals sound more AUD at times. The overall sound is pretty
muddy and there's a degree of hiss.

The original 3-piece (+ drum machine) Bunnymens first London gig, on the
same bill as Joy Division and the Teardrop Explodes. This is not the full
performance, as during the Teardrops excellent set (a soundboard recording BTW),
Read It In Books is introduced as one played earlier by the Bunnymen. These are
the only tracks which appeared on the imaginatively named vinyl boot, "Echo"
(Hawkeye 015) but I don't believe this tape is vinyl-sourced. Sorry about the lack
of generational info but I bought the tape about 20 years ago and I neither knew
nor cared about such things then.
