"A live recording from 1977! First time on vinyl! Previously only available on CD as part of the
Past & Future Landslide
3CD box set! 'It was 1977 and things were progressing extremely well. We had signed to Beggars Banquet and our first single
Shadow c/w Love Story
had been released.
John Peel
had been playing both sides of the single most nights on his radio show, so we were getting heard by a lot of people. But we didn't yet have a 'proper' tour bus, so we all piled into a transit for the trip down to Margate with our tour manager
Mike Stone
in the driving seat. The Queens Hotel turned out to be a pretty good venue. There was a nice high stage which we much preferred over the low-slung platforms of some of the places we played. It meant that the crowd wasn't totally swamping us the whole time, although there would still be a constant stream of people jumping on and off stage, bumping us, knocking equipment over and so forth. We weren't sure if many people would turn up on a cold and windy night so close to Christmas, but it was a good turnout, and they were out for a good time too. There was none of the aggro stuff which would become a problem later on at our shows. The actual gig was typical of a Lurkers show at that time, being fairly chaotic with a lot of crowd 'interaction.' There is a recklessly fast version of 'Pills' on the recording, and I think we were playing 'It's Quiet Here' for the first time live. Howard was on good form too; it would be his birthday on Christmas Day. My favourite quip from him is towards the end of the show when he says 'eat your heart out
