801 Live (2009 UK Deluxe Collectors Edition 24-track digitally remastered 2-CD Box Set - In 1976, while Roxy Music had temporarily disbanded, 801 got together as a temporary project & began rehearsing at Island Studios, about three weeks before their first gig. The original sextet included Manzanera, Brian Eno, Bill MacCormick, Francis Monkman, Simon Phillips & Lloyd Watson, & after a warm up show in Cromer in Norfolk, that line-up played just two gigs at the Reading Festival & atLondon's Queen Elizabeth Hall. This memorable concert was subsequently released as '801 Live'. The music consisted of more or less mutated selections from albums by Manzanera, Eno & Quiet Sun, plus a full-scale rearrangement of Lennon-McCartney's 'Tomorrow Never Knows' & an off-the-wall excursion into The Kinks' 1964 hit 'You Really Got Me'. That album is now expanded with a Bonus 12-track CD of rare rehearsal recordings, presented in a superb digibook with an integral 52-page booklet containing reminiscences from all of the players including Eno & Manzanera!
