It's on Globe Music (his label I believe), and...the sound quality SUCKS! How could the sound have gotten so screwed up (on multiple nights and in different countries)? It's still interesting to listen to, but I don't think Eddie was able to improve the sound at all. Also, Wetton's vocals sound atrocious! The sound quality makes them even worse. They're distorted! But also out of tune or something. I think this was back before Wetton had triumphed over alcoholism, and his performances then were suffering. Strangely, there don't seem to be any recording dates supplied.
Has anyone read anything from Jobson explaining this release? Maybe since people wanted to hear it, he just decided to release it, warts (huge warts) and all. But it should have a warning label on the packaging or something. A shame that this is all there is from these shows.
