Notes: This album was released, but withdrawn very soon after following legal action by Jobson: the record company, it seems, had not secured all the rights to the material. Taken from UK's first tour, the album includes material from their first album, UK, and material that would later appear on their second studio album, by which time Bruford and Holdsworth had left the group for Bruford. I find the performances better than the studio albums, although the sound quality is not perfect (Wetton's vocals are the worst affected). (HP, 30 Aug 05)
