New CD version of 2024 RSD vinyl release. An incendiary live set of greatest hits of The Bevis Frond circa 1998.

Featuring over an hour's worth of prime Frond, it mixes the bittersweet melodies of Nick Saloman's much-covered 'Lights Are Changing' and 'He'd Be A Diamond' with fuzz fuelled riffs and masterful solo-ing.

Played as a power trio with Saloman enlists his long-time associate and former Hawkwind bass player Adrian Shaw, and Andy Ward, former drummer with 70s prog giants Camel.

With a staggering ten-minute rethinking of Love's come down anthem 'Signed DC' closing the show.

This set also includes culled cuts from their debut 'Miasma' through to the groundbreaking 'New River Head' and beyond into the 90s.

"A noisy yet intimate performance representative of his finest work." AllMusic // "Six-string pyrotechnics, pop hooks and lyrical urgency." MOJO.
