A pal of mine saw the cover and suggested that Julian ought to release this on picture disc vinyl, with the hole in the obvious place...

Mine arrived today - ordered yesterday - very speedy. Listened to it on the cans out and about this evening and have to agree very mono. There are sparse moments of stereo-ness that sound like overdubs (particularly synth at end of "East Easy Rider" (I think) and backing vocals at end of "Passionate Friend") but surely they can't be!
Considering I spent a lot of my late teens into mid-20s at the Barrowlands (sadly not this gig) it does in places have a particular audience ambience very typically Weedgy and Barrowlandish that is very well captured.
3 hour show - wow! Never got that length at any of the Barrowlands gigs I was at. The shortist was The Mary Chain (25 mins, Psychocandy era in 1986) and the longest was probably Marillion (in between Fugazi and Childhood - end of 1984) which was almost 2 hours ... I had to get the boot of the later on a C-120 at the Barrowland market shortly after...
Anyway keep them coming - could do a Psychic TV thing and release a live album a month ...

A great little album - nicely condensed record of a 3 hour gig - you get a bit of everything including the acoustic set (I seem to remember Cope doing an audience participation 'on the one clapping' version of Paranormal on this tour).
Hey, if he released an extended version of the whole set, he could call it Long-Barrowlands (I'm here all week).
Just one thing though (Columbo) - Is it me, or is the version of Reynard actually the Westminster 1987 version? haven't done an a/b with Copulation but the intro "This is in fact Reynard the Fox" is the same.

I thought so, but it's the year after. Haven't got a recording of any gig from that tour, unusually. There's not listing on setlist.fm so I'm guessing there isn't a well traded copy out there

I haven't heard the Westminster 1987 version, but Reynard is very stereo whereas the rest of it (bar a few odd bits) seems mono - even the audience is centred - whereas in Reynard the audience is very wide. I have commented earlier on this thread regarding its mono-ness. Great selection all the same...

Yeah, I noticed a few odd 'stereo' bits - like the backing vocals on Don't Take Roots. To be honest, everything Cope does with stuff like this tends to be deliberate, him being such a fan of rock and roll 'gimmicks'. And knowing his sense of humour, it wouldn't surprise me if he's done a tongue in cheek homage to so-called classic live albums (overdubs and the odd track from a different show).
Anyone else would just master the tracks and stick it out without much thought, but I can just imagine him going "no, we've got to do this properly - like Alive II".
I like it!
