This recording finds The Scream movin' on up from their frankly shite psychedelic beginnings, the only band I've come across who's second album is better than the first. The band are captured here going through changes. Dropped by their record company due to poor sales, the core of the scream; Gillespie, Young and Innes relocated to Brighton, got shit faced and re-examined the band with the help of Johnny Thunders, MC5 and 9 yards of dead cow. The new leather and loaded Scream rawked. This gig in May 1988 at Dingwalls was a taster for the future of a heavier and harder sound. A highlight of the set is a cover of The Ramones Swallow My Pride. Only Primal Scream could get away with fucking it up at the start. Too much speed! This recording came via Moggieboy @ The Webadelica Forum, top guy, top forum, cheers. Enjoy, it is an important piece of musical history from one of the few bands since The Clash that matter. It's just a click away....CLICK
