READ A REVIEW c/o Phil Sutcliffe NME 1979

I have a few live tapes of Penetration and Pauline Murray and the Storm and the Invisible Girls material. If you're interested in swaps etc then contact me. I'm currently attempting to convert some video footage from Reading Rock Festival 1978 into mpeg format on CD. ( Lovers Of Outrage, Life's a Gamble)

Penetration: Canterbury: October '79 ( Now available on CD-R )
Good quality for a 'bootleg', not exactly 'Alchemy-Dire Straits' but certainly listenable even in an E reg Cavalier -cheap hifi-leaky door seal-thrashing down the A1 kind of way!
Shout Above the Noise: Life's A Gamble: She is the Slave: Lifeline: What's Going On?: Movement: Party's Over: Lovers of Outrage: Last Saving Grace: :Too Many Friends: Killed In the Rush: New Recruit: On Reflection: Nostalgia: Come Into the Open: Danger Signs: Freemoney: Don't Dictate.

Penetration: Top Rank, Sheffield: September '79 ( Now available on CD-R )
Not as good as Canterbury for sound quality, better to listen with home system where you can mess with an equaliser...worth having certainly.
Shout Above the Noise: Life's A Gamble: She is the Slave: Lifeline: What's Going On?: Freemoney: Movement: Party's Over: Lovers of Outrage: Too Many Friends: Killed In the Rush: New Recruit: Nostalgia: On Reflection: Come Into the Open: Danger Signs: Firing Squad: Don't Dictate: Stone Heroes..
plus on the same tape.............
Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls: Den Haag, Holland 3.4.81
European Eyes: Time Slipping: Dream Sequence: Two Shots: Thunder Tunes: Animal Crazy..
John Peel Sessions 19.3.80
When Will You learn: Shoot You Down: Dream Sequence: Sympathy

Penetration Live 1979
By far the best sound quality..either mixing desk or the recordist was sat in the PA!! Not a long tape but as good as many pro recordings at the time. Rendition of Freemoney has Fred at his most 'guitar twiddly' and the sheer energy and melody makes your hair stand on end ( if you still have any after 20 years).
On Reflection: Danger Signs: Lovers Of Outrage: She Is The Slave: Come Into The Open: Movement: Nostalgia: Freemoney: Stone Heroes.

Pauline Murray and the Storm: Glasgow Q.M. 24.5.86
Mixing desk?..all instruments very clear. Well worth having and sounds particularly good on a home hifi system.
Missing For Love: Body Music: Screaming In The Darkness: Ark Angel: Don't Give Up: Soul Power: Time: Dream Sequence: Judgement Day: New Age ...................visit Pauline Murray page
