Both the 1981 Toronto gig at The Edge and the 1988 gig at Alle Ubu, Rennes are very listenable CN bootlegs. However (and yes I know this is such a cliche) the fact remains that the best CN stuff is to be found on the albums! Still, if you have those and are after a curiosity piece then it's quite interesting to hear the '88 gig for a very early version of The Fishes and the Shining Sea, a version of which was officially released on Malka's My Pet Fish and a couple of unreleased tracks along the lines of the It Seems material. === >>> Craig Grannell / Wireviews >>> Visit Wireviews at: http://welcome.to/wireviews http://www.snub.dircon.co.uk/wirehome.html >>> wireviews@yahoo.com >>> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
