This 2000 release was a surprise resurfacing for the band, after almost a decade of quiet. It gathered many songs performed in intimate appearances in London over the preceding years, recorded in the studio by Barry Andrews, Martyn Barker, Lu Edmonds (last seen on 1985`s Oil Gold), as well as Simon Edwards and Mark Raudva.
