LIVE IN OSAKA

Three of the original five members got back together at the turn of the century and the result is a revisiting of their previously available recordings. I presume that this was recorded basically 'live' in the studio as there is hardly any audience sound (although the band are introduced at one point), and the overall sound quality is much better than on the other two albums. Given that the two new boys are the keyboard player and one of the guitarists they have fitted in extremely well and the result is an album that certainly stands up against the first two and as the sound quality is more consistent is the one that I would plump for.
