This DVD is so ridiculously great, its well, ridiculous. The bickering and banter is priceless. The look on the lucky recipient of the Churchill ordeal dealt out by Kavus - oh my. Also, Jim "finding" the input on his bass - holy shit. Musically its beyond any words - these tunes are brilliant. And lastly, the bit at the end with Tim "fiddling" on the piano brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it. Sigh.
EVERYBODY please buy this. Its absolutely brilliant.

According to the following article, "Dirty Boy" was played as an encore during the three Garage Concerts!

Happy Monday everyone.
For anyone interested, there's a new Twitter account which looks like its run by the ABC - Cardiacs Fans (@CardiacsBand).
It was through this i've seen that Spratleys Japs are touring in December - Huddersfield, Bristol, London and Brighton. Give them a follow if you like this kind of thing!

Got the DVD late last week as well, took a break from my Art Zoyd binge to give it a watch Saturday morning. Great fun stuff, killer performances. I chuckled often
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
The vinyl copy of HBaEB that I'd ordered from Wayside arrived today (along with the orange vinyl edition of PFM's Emotional Tattoos)! As you can probably guess, I greedily ripped off the cellophane and set to downloading the digital files (the vinyl itself will have to wait until later in the week when I have access to my record player).
Giving the files a listen now, and am excited to hear the "original master"(!) for the first time.
Edit: Bloody heck! What a great tune "She Is Hiding Behind The Shed" is! This one never fails to get me, its energy is just infectious.

I was also super happy to see they put that other mix out with it - slightly less treble... and for me - noticeably better. I think it really is my favorite after OLAITS. The whole thing has such a great flow - and some raging tunes. Goodbye Grace being one of my absolutely favorites - I like when Tim was asked about playing that one live - something like "Yeah - are you fucking kidding me?!" haha
Wish they sold digital downloads separately. Would love to hear the original master.
We keep pushing ABC to move over to Bandcamp and put it all out. Maybe one day. The demand is there it seems... as much as I love having the physical copies - I would buy it all this way without a second thought.

Cardiacs on Bandcamp would be great. ABC could release the complete Garage tapes, i.e. all three concerts including the encores (provided the recordings still exist).
