Welcome to the Front Row Club!

This recording was made as a reference for ourselves while touring and as an archive of our live performance - it was never planned to be released. We have taken the original recording and 'mastered' it to provide a better sonic experience, however it has not been re-touched or overdubbed in any way. This recording is provided "as is" - warts and all - for your listening pleasure, so please keep this in mind when listening!

The Front Row Club is intended for those with "Front Row" passion for the band and it's touring history. And, of course, the future! Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

 

This show was originally released as 'Live in Glasgow' (Racket 3). Originally, Racket-Records releases were only available on tour and to the Web Fan Club members, but when we started our website in 1997, it was re-pressed and available to everyone. When this second pressing sold out, we decided not to re-manufacture 'Glasgow', mainly based on sound quality, and the fact that we now have more Racket releases and official live albums. As the website has grown, we continue to get requests for the album, and the Front Row Club has allowed us to release it to a more forgiving audience!

The original title of the album is actually a bit of a misnomer. . . The original source was a stereo cassette tape recorded straight of the mixing desk. However, half-way through the show, the tape was never flipped, and we ran short of material! The last two tracks are actually from a different show, and were edited together with the Glasgow tape to make a complete 'main set' - this is why you hear H say "Thank you Bradford" at the end of the disc.

The original recording does contain a background hiss, however, we have 'remastered' the album for the Front Row Club to improve the overall sound quality.
