Article: Oh, go on then - you can tape the live shows if you really want to. We can't understand why you would want to listen to this music without the benefit of vintage production, but if it floats your boat, fill your boots! Just don't forget to buy an actual album once in a while, or we won't be able to carry on gigging. x The New Mastersounds
