Heatwave Festival (1980) now released!

Post by Arbogast »

Anyone who was at this 1980 show in Ontario (EC's only North American date of that year) knows what a gobsmackingly special gig it was.

And now it's FINALLY available as an official release (at least it looks official)!

Never bothered with this before. Can anyone who owns it/has heard it advise on how essential a purchase it is? In terms of (a) sound quality, and (b) are there any performances that are quirky, unusual or different from other concerts of this period?

I think it's a boot - Amazon lists the label as "Gossip." Still could be great to have if the quality's good.

Oh it's definitely a boot, it's been doing the rounds since the mid-1990s. I'm just interested to know if the sound quality is good enough to make it worth buying this version of it...
