I've still never got around to getting a copy of Always Now, but bought a few of the singles circa 1980 - Haunted/Charnel Ground being a big favourite, and one that I suspect a few later 'slowcore' acts were familiar with. The poppy 'Back to Wonder' really showed their range and didn't sound like much else coming out of the north west at the time.
Lucky you, man, must have been a really cool gig.
