Remarks:
This historic occasion is
equally remembered for the first time Paul met me! My memory confirms that this
is the sam gig, no doubt but it’s a shame that the inter-song banter has been
edited out to fit into a 90 minute cassette. I’m 99.9% sure Paul did a version
of “Answering machine” here – with the comment that the woman for whom the song
was written was in the audience. He also had a funny story about Gloria Estefan
but … heck, …
Way back when, The
Borderline held only 250 people (max) ad me and Colin trekked through London
trafifc to find our way to this little club.
