This Heat : Live In Krefeld

The semi-official This Heat live album recorded at a concert in Krefeld, Germany, 1980. Cassette-only independent German release, later re-released also in vinyl format. Bootleged under the title Cold Storage. The initial cassettes were carefuly done 1:1 copies on CrO2 tapes with subsequent very good sound. The group was at the height of its powers, working like a clockwork. Power, nicely captured. Contains also one truly great unreleased song.

Thanks so much for this, I have a few-generations-removed cassette that still sounds good.

I started a new blog, inspired by yours and a few others... I'm mostly going to focus on 80's cassette culture stuff.

Merci for ANOTHER excellent This Heat release!

I heard bits & pieces of it found on the web, now finally here's the entire cassette. A great find!

This Heat, Camberwell Now and the solo work from Charles Hayward is definately some of most awesome music I had the pleasure to listen to!

Thanks a lot!

thanks shards. it always seemed to me that it's better to have a singular theme for a blog than to wander in too many directions. you have a very nice concept. keep on..!
mr.lucky, i agree with you 100%, as usual!
herr armel, very interesting. it would be wonderful if you'd have any further recollections of that particular night to share with us?

I've just come across your amazing blog - what a joy to find some of this stuff - but what a disaster to find the Live In Krefeld link has been deleted.
Could you repost it??
Thanks!!
