I was intrigued by the name of this LP - ‘Live at Basins Nightclub’. Most nightclubs of the time had glamorous sounding names - locally for example we had Oscars, Concordes and the Grange

I can’t imagine why anyone decided to call a nightclub ‘Basins’…but apparently it was in Porstsmouth.

It’s a great record, but as with most live albums, I’d probably advise beginners to listen to a straight Greatest Hits first
