Sounds great, I'll have to get that as it's one of the few IQ albums I don't own.

It'll be a while as the album is still being mixed but certainly before the end of the year. |

just got it in the post, so cool! i first got "the wake" in 1985 (on l.p) and that same mega-excitement was pulsing through my veins when i received this mega 4 cd set! and it brings so many memories back of watching the boys at the marquee club in london, sweating our boxes off! (as anyone who"s been there knows!!) we were all going to the knebworth festival in the summer of 85",and when arriving at victoria coach station,we found all coaches to knebworth full! so by a fantastic twist of fate, I.Q happened to be playing at the marquee that night, i.q have always been an exciting, exilerating and darn right ace-band live (does anyone remember them calling themselves "the de-fab I.Q band?!!!) so i reckon we enjoyed ourselves a whole lot more, as knebworth didn"t have much prog there, in fact other than high voltage which was f**king amazing!!! this weekend gone, the reading festival 1983 was the only prog-dominated fest i think there"s ever been!!

I've ordered it. Quite pricey but it is a classic of the genre.
