the best thing about this album is the cover art; nice pic, all 4 sissies with eldo in front of them, wearing his black cape/coat. Pic is taken in the autum with cool reflections in eldo's shades. Second is the colored vinyl and the labeling with side A, side B...side E and the head&stars logo.
The records are from the Black October Tour, and some early John Peel, IIRC (I am not at home at the moment...surely some nice soul in here will point you to a good boot-reference site).
IIRC(2), the sound quality is ok.
In case I ever give away any of the boots, the "Trough the Years" will stay in my bookshelf.
Buy it if you can.

I have a couple of copies of Gary's last gig on tape. Maybe it came from this boot.

probably, becouse only three tracks was released alsow on "1983 - 1986" cd and that's all. there's no other bootleg with that gig.
me think is pretty worth own
