This is the best Babble boot ever: good sound and performance, a
splendid - as ever - Zoot Money, amazing lyrics. For these first
performances of Babble (a year before the album), Kevin Coyne
does monologues between the songs, with a totally different text
from the 1979 Europe and London performances. For the moment, Dagmar
sticks to singing.
Michale recalls for the Kevin Coyne Group: "I know this
recording along with a number of other Coyne recordings of this period
are often attributed to others, but it was often me with a Sanyo
cassette recorder dangling over the monitor at the front of the stage,
and usually with Kevin’s blessing. I recall that this was one of four
nights of Babble at the Rock Club and on the next night Kevin had to
sing every song as Dagmar was ill. Wish I’d recorded that one! Kevin’s
then wife Lesley was at that particular show and upon learning she was
disappointed in missing Dagmar, I piped up and offered and subsequently
sent her a copy of this recording."
The Babble chronology is :
Rock Club London July 78
June 79 album out and Europe tour (Paris, Sweden, Holland, Germany)
June 79 the scheduled show at Stantford Theatre is cancelled because of The Sun controversy.
