Newspaper Announcement

Brixton Ace, London, England

Other acts performing at this event were Brillant and Urban Shakedown, formerly Basement 5.

The second part of this concert including Alice, Valentine, Anaconda, Body Electric, 1969 and Sister Ray was recorded from

the mixing desk. This part is available in very good sound quality on various live bootleg LPs such as Halloween In Arkham.

Often such vinyl bootlegs would wrongly name March 17th, 1983 as the source of the featured recording. Listening to these

bootlegs would, however, undoubtedly reveal that their actual origin is in fact this mixing desk take.

A complete audience recording of the gig does exist as well, but is hard to find. This recording does also offer

a very good sound quality but gives a different impression of the sound as it - naturally - includes the noise

from on stage, from around the venue and from the audience.


An Edritch quote from the gig (before 1969):

"This is the last time we play this song. .... ever ....".


Setlist

Newspaper Announcement
  1. Kiss The Carpet
  2. Floorshow
  3. Watch
  4. Adrenochrome
  5. Alice
  6. Valentine
  7. Anaconda
  8. Body Electric
  9. 1969
  10. Sister Ray


Note that in the header of the second advert it is mentioned that "All shows are being recorded for CH4".

This would have been wonderful, but to-day no such recording has ever surfaced nor is any information

available about such recording.

Thanks for the lovely picture (and the info), though, to HL Forum member Dan.
