I finally got the 2-disc version of '80 for Christmas. Nice to hear tracks like Joy Circuit and Telekon live. Haven't had a chance to fully absorb myself in it but I'm please to have all 3 CDs now smile

Its a great 'double album', that almost never happened. Beggars wanted to put out a two disc version of '80, like '79 and '81, but did not have enough songs to make a two cd set. So the search was on for another 'Teletour '80' show to go with the original version. The show chosen was from Manchester, there was another proposed but 'Remember I Was Vapour' was incomplete on that one.

This morning on the train, John and Louis : Pleasures of Electricity
I'd forgotten how good this is. Standouts for me are "A funny thing", "Camera" and "Nightlife".

Can't help noticing how different this album is from the later J+L stuff.

Steely Dan Day for Ivan Excellent exquisite stuff , (Dirty Work , Reeling in the Years plus Portoguese band Madredeus O Paraiso

Check this track out by the latter If I'm honest I prefer the more electronic minimalist album version sans orchestra

The days will be nights apparently
