Originally I had a copy of this tape from R.C, it was on the end of
some Dead Can Dance demo's. Someone from the Lisa Gerrard forum asked
if they could borrow the demo's and make their own transfer and so I obliged
.....that was the last I ever saw of the tape and after asking several times
for the tape to be returned I gave up....I know one bad apple and all that
but it certainly leaves a sour taste.

Fortunately the person I received the tape from is still someone I'm in touch
with and they very kindly sent me their original cassette which is what I present
here....Enjoy, and remember if someone does you a favour please don't fuck them over.

The band were apparantly forced to play a shortend set because the local supports
went on too long and the Birthday Party had to return to London to catch their last
tube, shame because it's a very raw early set...."I've got a sick mother at home"
