The Beat Apostles - All Around (1988)


Here's tape number three from The Beat Apostles. This is another set of live recordings, this time without a keyboardist, which trips away some of the jazzier/boppier elements of the band's sound. But still just as much fun.

The Beat Apostles - Ed is Dead (1987)
