The Yachts - Live at Hurrah (NYC, 11 October 1979)

In 1979 The Yachts toured the US and Europe (supporting Joe Jackson and the Who) to promote their self-titled album issued earlier the same year. On Thursday, 11 October 1979, the four-piece (Henry Priestman, Martin Watson, Martin Dempsey, and Bob Bellis) played the Hurrah club in NYC (the Yacths also recorded their album in New York with producer Richard Gottehrer).

Used to see The Yachts a lot in London, even painted my own t-shirt at the time. Even had a wee at the same time as Martin Watson at the London School of Printing at Elephant & Castle!; 2 febbraio 2010 alle ore 07:57

BLOG POLICY

All recordings are out of print to the best of my knowledge (hence the low quality of the audio files, being for the most part vinyl or cassette rip)), and thus are not diverting earnings from the artists. In fact the purpose of the blog is the opposite: to stir up interest in the artists of this particular period of time. However, if you are the copyright holder and want a recording removed, let me know and I will do so. Recordings are provided for review and evaluation purposes only; if you can find a real copy, buy one! Thank you for visiting. Mij
