The complete recordings of the legendary\u00a0Marc And The Mambas\u00a0<\/strong>run of three live performances given at The Duke Of York\u2019s Theatre in London\u2019s West End in 1983. Restored from the original VHS tape recordings made by the late\u00a0Peter \u2018Sleazy\u2019 Christopherson<\/strong>\u00a0(Throbbing Gristle, Coil<\/strong><\/em>), these remain the only recordings that exist of\u00a0Marc And The Mambas<\/strong>\u00a0performing live.<\/p>\n

Originally released in 2012 on\u00a0Marc Almond<\/strong>\u2018s (Soft Cell<\/strong><\/em>) own Strike Force Entertainment label as a CD\/DVD set (long sold out), this edition, presented on vinyl for the first time, contains the 17 tracks from the SFE CD release, expanded to include the two bonus DVD-only tracks: \u2018Pr\u00e8s Des Ramparts De S\u00e9ville\u2019 and \u2018Jacky\u2019. Completely remastered for vinyl by Martin Bowes (The Cage Studios).<\/p>\n

A combination of the chanson and torch songs which he still sings today, over piano, strings and woodwind-accompanied compositions.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s quite a spectacle, especially when Almond hits his sweet spot of sinister lyrics, declared pompously over a droned string arrangement\u2026 Early signs of the full-on showtune and classical rearrangements that make up Almond\u2019s current albums are evident\u201d(Record Collector).<\/em><\/p>\n

Presented on heavyweight double vinyl in a deluxe glossy gatefold sleeve featuring the extensive reminiscence by\u00a0Marc Almond<\/strong>\u00a0himself from the 2012 release.<\/p>\n

Also included is a reproduction of the 16-page programme printed for the three concerts in 1983. The stunning cover painting by\u00a0Val Denham<\/strong>\u00a0is exclusive to this release.<\/p>\n
