    Thanks for the story, Rico! Very interesting to read more about the background for this fantastic and breathtaking album.

    1) It doesn’t seem like Warner have actually made any of those three albums available on YouTube, but they are on the music streaming services. And the whole Torch Song album is also here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01W9-cOESwE

    2) Would you, William or Laurie have the video (and/or other footage) from the concert in higher quality? Would love to see the whole evening!

    Thanks again.

    Thanks! The links in the article will take you to the Warners uploads, although I suppose they may not work in every territory. I don’t know of a higher quality copy of the live footage, but I will look into it.

      Aha, you’re right about the links, and also that they don’t work where I am now. 🙂

      And even if you don’t find higher quality footage, that 23 minutes clip is still wonderful to view.

    still love this album.. the track referencing ‘Living out of time’ still gives me chills. I was at the QE gig !! … also a question for you… The Electric Chamber album sounds different in more ways than just the track list when it was put together later as a WO Pieces in a Modern Style album, is it just me ? or was a different mixdown/mastering used ? … anyhoo…loved your F242 mixes on Mixed by Fear

      Thanks Rob, not sure exactly what the deal was with Pieces, I know the very first version had to be revised…

      Sadly, I don’t have that in my archives. I’ve got transfers from the DV tape of Cargo & Pieces but missing Lavelle & TS which is frustrating.
      The only copy I’ve seen is a VHS transfer. I think we had it on WO’s YouTube channel once.

        Richard who actually shot the footage? Maybe we can track down the original master…

        Hi Rico, the VHS tape I had was marked as “THE OFFLINE EDITING CO”, and has Warners listed as the client. So you’d think Warners would have a copy?
        Offline Editing seem to be based in Poland St.
