THE CHARLES - LIVE AT THE GRAIN FESTIVAL - SUNDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 1987

The climax from The Grain Festival in September 1987, the only surviving complete recordings from that great day. This 18½ minute excerpt just catches the last four tracks of their live set; "Helter Skelter", "Strawman", enjoy the view from Eugene's "Boiler" and bid farewell to the legendary "Professor Quest". A retrospective of the band's finest material appeared on M&E in 1992, "The Whirligig Cassette / As Far As The Eye Can See" (M&E 089), three tracks also found their way onto our 1987 collaborative album, "Mick And Chris On Acid" (C-4005), which will be on the forthcoming "United World Underground Collection"...
