HOPE IS A NEW COAT / THE SAME / THE SYSTEMATICS
ST PETER'S PARISH HALL 16/10/1981

Re-mastered at home from good quality cassette

01-05 Hope is a New Coat
06-13 The Same
14-25 The Systematics

One of the earliest Parish Hall gigs, I think? Combined soundboard and live microphone mixed into a boomy ambient sound.

Hope Is a New Coat are the earliest version including Anne-Marie from Newcastle on extra stuff and Dave W on drums. Possibly better than their later incarnations. The Same remain completely uninteresting to me with their bad Cure and Psychedelic Furs imitations. The Systematics are raucous as usual, often on the edge of falling apart. The medley of old tunes is excellent.
