I was gonna wax lyrical about the old GLC one-day festies that Red Ken used to put on back in the '80's and how this lot always seemed to be middle of the bill, usually coming on just after Bill Bragg.
But I can't 'cos Wiki tells me they split up in Spring '83 which is a year or so too early for that particular time-line. Ho hum, must upgrade my RAM on of these days.
Listening to it freash after 25 years, although Kirk Brandon can't sing and ignoring the fact that this lot spawned all that pompous Cult/Mission/Sisters Of Mercy tosh that came later on (difficult I know but . . . ), there's some very interesting stuff here.
Currently unavailable, I'd been looking for this for a good couple of months until UBS Dave came to the rescue and dug up a copy of the 1996 release on the Dojo label for you.

Spear of Destiny certainly did some GLC gigs - remember seeing them at the final GLC gig in Brockwell Park (think it was Strawberry Switchblade before them - The Fall and The Damned up the bill). Shitty abusive audience throwing bottles (Kirk got hit by one, the Damned threatened to walk off) but great performances.
Great album, cheers
great album, thanks !
Saw them supporting The Cult at the Forum last year - the years have not been kind to old Kirk! The Cult were amazing though :)
