Yes and what a good deal it was too, two great shows AND a CD! I remember
seeing both on telly at the time (the only way I ever got to see Oilz), and
being insanely jealous of the crowd. Great memories. And correct one memory:
did they not do a broadcast of a Horden Pavilion gig during that period also?
I'm sure I saw a video years back. That Goat Island gig made up for my initial
horror at the Red Sails In The Sunset release: the songs made much more sense
live.

I'd like to know more about this book, too, there's been precious little
written biography of this band. Not enough is said about how they mastered an
industry from the outside.

Hear, hear, or perhaps type, type!
