Okay, well if time permitted us, we'd play a bit more of what we've got coming, but we're going to have to play just a sample from an album called The Book of Invasions.

This is called Sword of Light, and it's for rather ripped records.

We're both from 1978 as well.

Yeah, well, actually, Jimmy's a better hand on that than I am.

No, it normally would have.

In fact, we were looking for, the Winterland was such an historic venue.

Yeah, I do.

I remember Bruce Foxton and the lead singer with the jam, Paul Weller, being hauled along more or less by the ear by Weller's dad because Weller's dad was the manager.

And the lads were never allowed any fun after gigs because the dad had them.

At the moment, bed.

So this pair of sorry lads came whizzing past us.

And I think it might have been, to our shame, Bebop Deluxe, who are the head of the bill.

And we were second or third on the bill.

very kind of very zippy performance but it's great fun it's really exciting listen to listen to what was your reaction when you finally heard it in this re-engineered pristine form was it were we that good really were we that fast you know we never had click tracks and so the one thing you can be sure of with a horse lips live is that we'll be playing it a bit faster than it is on the album but it's actually turned out to be a really good gig yeah it was very tight

And it had, Pat, what it had was, it was a middle album.

We'd done an album in Dun Laoghaire in 75, which represented what we'd been doing up to then.

And then we did Belfast Gigs, which was our very last set.

And so this is kind of the bit in between.

So if you're the sort of person who's interested in horse lips and where we were for all that 10 years, this is a very good middle spot as well.

I think it's only in vinyl.
