OK now this is kind of a rarity, an FM broadcast from Paul Carrack's first recording outfit Ace. Ace of course had a pretty big hit with the Paul Carrack written and sung "How Long". The song hit #3 in The USA, #3 in Canada and #20 in The UK. The song is still played by Paul on his solo tours. The song is also still in play on the so called "Classic Rock" radio stations. Their second and last charting single was 1975's "Time For Another" hit #71 in The USA failing to chart any where else. The band folded in 1977. Paul Carrack, Terry Comer and Fran Byrne spent some time with Frankie Miller's band. Paul Carrack also spent some time in Roxy Music before moving on to Squeeze. While in Squeeze, Carrack sang lead vocal on the bands single "Tempted" which hit Billboards Mainstream Rock Charts at #8. The bands biggest USA hit single. Paul of course went on to sing for Mike Rutherford's Mike & The Mechanics, where the hits continued. Paul Carrack still enjoys a successful solo career playing all those hits and more.

Paul Carrack, what can I say. I was in school when Squeeze were at their height of their career. A kid in my art class was a big New Wave fan, skunk hair do and all. In art class our teacher let us bring in our own records to listen to during class. So Eric (his name) always brought in stuff like The B52's, and a bunch of other New Wave that wasn't my cup of tea. So he brings in Squeeze's East Side Story. I'm ready for like Flock Of Seagulls Synth Pop. The music was some of the best Pop Music I had heard in a while. When "Tempted" came on, the soulful voice of Paul Carrack was just icing on the cake. When side one was over I asked for it to be played again. Eric says something like "You sure you don't want to hear Black Sabbath?" I said something like, "No You finally brought in someone with talent play it again". So we listened to the whole album twice before it was changed to something else.

OK first off I got this from D & P's Bootleg Tunz World so you know it's a quality concert. So the question of whether it is a good recording is answered right of the bat. It's also a great performance from early in the career of this Genesis side project. If you don't have this show in your collection you simply should that's all there is to it.
