RTE! Don't you just love them? They maybe don't do too much but when they do........It's 99% certain it's a gem.
These 25 tracks are from their radio archive of broadcasts long 'forgotten' so don't expect 21st century sound quality, but it's not bad at all and the vibrancy, the electricity and the passion and precision of each performance will leave you riveted to your seat. RECOMMENDED.
