audience
There’s some high-end distortion, but it’s not too bad.
includes a rare performance of "Crawling To The USA" (one of three known performances).
It was the band’s first proper gig in front of a paying London audience. They’d done two warm-ups in the West Country (Penzance and Plymouth) and one in Manchester. The night before this, they played in front of “fucking liggers at Dingwalls” in Camden.
If you’ve never been to the Hope and Anchor, it has a tiny cellar that holds about 75-80 people uncomfortably. The ceiling is very, very low and the ventilation dreadful.
If you like your Elvis rare, very early, previously uncirculated and a little rough round the edges, this is the one for you.
