Fairfield Halls, Live 1970

007 archive release featuring a previously unreleased live performance from Ian Hunter and his Mottley crew. On the 13th September 1970 the fist ever attempt was made to capture Mott's feral stage act on tape at The Fairfield Halls, Croydon, England and for over 30 years the tapes of the gig were confined to the tape vaults of bassist Overend Watts. To the legions of MTH fans around the world, these recordings are the 'Holy Grail' of unheard live MTH tracks. Recorded on The Who's then state-of-the-art portable eight track machine, they have long become legendary not just for recording the night the band blew the headline act Free off stage but also for the way the band engaged with the crowd, cajoling them and challenging them. Apathy would not be tolerated: a reaction, either good or bad was demanded. 12 tracks. Angel Air.
