The precious tape was mastered by Eve studios in Manchester and now it's as if you're there.. all those years ago... pushing to get to the front at one of the bands greatest ever gigs... Two singles were released... 1979... motorway madness / body Heat 1981... giving the game away /way of the world Both these singles are now incredibly rare and are worth a fortune on eBay Name of bands website https://www.
