I was very excited to receive this recording. Numan's first step onto the big stage as 'The Touring Principle' kicked off in Glasgow at the long lamented Apollo. This is a major upgrade on what has been previously in circulation. This is the work of the non-profit making team that go by the name of 'Rescued Recordings', ably assisted by DomP who applies his technical expertise to clean up recordings so that they are as good as they can ever be. The sole intention of this team is to preserve as many gigs as possible that were played in this iconic (now demolished) venue with its baffling 15 foot 6 inch high stage!. The Apollo played such a big part in the musical lives of Glaswegians throughout the 1970's and early 1980's and this is one such memorable gig.
This is an audience recording of the full set and I have to say well done to the original taper. It could not have been an easy task to capture the gig in such quality with those bone rattling keyboards to contend with. Thanks to all involved in putting together this great slice of aural history.
