Yet another 'Where the fuck did that come from?' moment and it's FBG's turn to 
provide the surprise. A soundcheck from sometime in 1984, previously available 
(incomplete) on Sabotage's Purple Rush Series now presented here in its 
entirety. As indicated above, the exact date and location of this soundcheck is 
still unknown and has been the case for as long as I can remember. It seems a 
safe bet it occurred during the summer but, who knows. Regardless, it's a joy to 
have although your enjoyment of it will still boil down to feelings on 
soundchecks/rehearsals.

I've stated before that I do enjoy them for the most part. I like hearing the 
processes and work behind the songs and getting an insight into how the band 
learn and perfect the tracks. The majority of this short and sweet set is taken 
up by a repeated run through of 'Feline' (a track intended for The Family) and 
it's nothing less than one funky 35 minutes. The tempo bounces, the synths jump 
along and the bass is classic Revolution. Throw Erotic City into the mix and you 
have nothing but a whole heap of funky fun. I had this jam stuck on repeat for 
some time as I bopped and grooved around the house while attempting to get some 
work done (not a chance). The remainder of the disc showcases, amongst others, 
another Family track 'The Screams Of Passion' (a personal fave) so that had me 
up again.

As I said above, what you'll get from this will be personal to you but there's 
no denying that it MUST end up in your collection. A complete, soundboard 
recording + Solid mastering + Stunning artwork = One epic package. Stop reading 
this and go and find it. Now.
