It is a good companion piece to Moat On The Ledge from the same festival. Sound quality is not polished but it is OK.
The version of Cut Across Shorty is probably my favourite of that song other than one by The Faces.

Wasnyitit on a Rod solo "Gasolene Alley" - unless there was a live release. |

I remember finding a copy of the cd in a store in Moscow in 2003, which the same place I found the "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" box-set in 1995 when it was out of print during the mid-'90's (at least in the US). Russians apparently have a love for rare-ish Fairport related material. It's a good CD, I don't pull it out that often, but it's good. I think there's one picture in the booklet with Peggy in his Tull "A" baseball hat.

There is a 'new' GPs album coming out on Feb 7th - apparently a mixture of remastered recordings from Broughton Castle and another concert in Horsham. Not everything included on the original CD is there, but there are some songs which weren't on the original: https://propermusic.com/collections/talking-elephant/products/thegps-in1981therewasthegpsliveinconcert. Yet another challenge to the wallet... |

I saw this earlier today and it will be an automatic buy for me as Horsham was my home town for the first 20 years of my life. What staggers me though is that I was a regular at the Capitol theatre through my teens, even performing there myself in 1981 (& 1982) but I have no memory of this concert taking place at all. I certainly didn't attend. I am most intrigued. It was a lovely theatre, a listed building but was nevertheless criminally demolished in controversial circumstances a couple of years later to make way for a branch of Marks & Spencer. NB the theatre currently calling itself the Capitol is not the same venue. That building was in fact the ABC cinema during that period, another of my regular adolescent hang outs. |

No... Linda? Swarb? Simon? Swarb joins them for the encore of High School Confidential on the 2006 reissue of the Broughton Castle album (which also features on Moat on The Ledge). |
