Gole
Almost Live In Europe is a live album that has been re worked in the recording studio. Hence the title Almost Live In Europe. The band were recorded during the tour of Europe in Italy in 1995. The line up of the English Rock Ensemble is a strange one as it doesn’t feature a guitarist.
On hearing the tapes Rick decided to “fix” the album in the recording studio which accounts for the honest title of the album.
