An unreleased live by this legendary cult no-wave NY band from 1979. In around fifteen years exitence since their formation in 1978, the history of Circle X can be divided in two parts and for each, with few but always powerful releases : the late 70s-early 80s with two singles + one vinyl LP, and for the second one : four singles, one CD and one miniCD for the early until mid-90s. Today, its a great delight to see the first official Circle X live album. And what a document ! The Circle X 'Historical concert at the University of Dijon, the first gig in France at their debut in 1979 when the group was established in that city. The performance of the band that night was short but truly outstanding... A very, very, high tension... Not need to say more !!! The players were : Dave Letendre on drum, Rik Letendre on guitar, Tony Pinotti on vocal and Bruce Witsiepe on guitar. The present 10inch vinyl edition includes also 3 unreleased bonus tracks with the first studio version of Beyond Standard (1979) and two other studio tracks from the last period (1994), plus insert with liner notes by Rik Letendre and some rare photos. The sound quality isn't perfect but good enough for make this object acceptable and valid. In fact, you have here, 30 years later... the real first Circle X record like it had to be released at that time !! Well, call it like you want... but its already and obviously ! a fantastic and an essential release. No excuse for all who will be late this time!
