40 years ago, Hunters and Collectors found themselves in Adelaide. Many changes had occurred since the first gig back in May (an earlier desk tape in this series). The songs had slowed down. The horns of contempt had joined. The band was hitting it’s stride.

Whilst only a 46 minute recording, there are many great moments to be experienced. Opener World Of Stone takes us into another time and place. The eight minute Skin Of Our Teeth is unforgettable. Closing rarity Rendering Room is as good as anything that made it to vinyl.

For reasons unknown, this specific desk tape lacks some of the issues of other desk tapes of the era. All other era desk tapes had Mark’s vocal on the left channel and everything else on the right channel. Yet we can almost hear you calling out for “Run Run Run”…
