The Lords of the New Church - Live from London
(Deluxe - 2004)

 

Cult legends caught live at The Marquee in 1984. A mass of Gothic-Rock which can be described as a mesh of Finlands finest, Hanoi Rocks (image and sound) and The Damned (well Brian James of mentioned band is a member after all).

This is well worth getting as it's the only thing available on the band in Europe with highlights including 'New Church'; 'Open your eyes' and a cover of The Kinks 'You really got me', mainly for the fact that Stiv (Bators), the late frontman becomes so entangled with the full to capacity audience that security have trouble getting him back on the tiny stage. Is Mr. Bators out of it or what?
