| A first for the Front Row Club. We've found a tape from the Holidays in Eden tour production rehearsals - a truly unique recording. This is how Colin pitched the idea of this release to the band: |
| "I've checked through the live tapes from HIE, and they are not great (mostly audience louder than the band). However, I put on the tape marked Oxford (as I was there) and it's actually the tour rehearsal tapes. They are f**king great, excellent top notch sound and the band are tight as f**k with a few top laughs thrown in. Some sound better than what's on HIE! |
"Thrill!! ...to the complex aural simulation of an actual 'distant farm machine'!!
Amaze your friends!!...'when MIDI Gloves Attack'!!
Super Rare!!...Viscous Rottweiler and Monkey lyrics in 'The Party'
Gasp!!...as 'guitar god' does not put a foot wrong throughout the entire set!!
Gulp!!...as 'former guitar god' hits the wall in spectacular fashion during This Town!!" |

| Audio Quality |
| As this was a rehearsal and the reference tape was intended to include only the musical portion of the show, The tape recorder was started 'late' on several occasions (most noticeably on Holloway Girl) missing just the start of the song. There are quite tracks that end abruptly once the 'stop' button was pressed - so don't worry when you're listening, this is not a faulty CD! |
| Finally, there is also a slight 'tape hiss' inherent to analogue cassette throughout the recording. |
| Band Audio Rating: 7/10 |
