Wonderful performance in a small listening room before an adoring, knowledgeable, well-behaved audience whose inevitable  participation greatly added to the ambience.  In all regards, for a recording made with concealed mics, I would not wish for better.

Faults: none, given the situation

Support Billy Bragg by purchasing official releases and merchandise and attending gigs. Please pass on in a lossless format; reserve mp3 and other degrades for your own use only. Do not profit in any material way from this recording.
