Recorded live but without an audience whose applause they apparently patched in later for the LP but not the CD. I dunno - anyway - the version I listened to doesn't have any audience sounds on it.
It's a selection of songs from various albums and seems to flow ok. Some of them sound a bit dated - in fact it reminded me a lot of John Miles' Rebel in places - which I'll probably always like but which I expect might not have aged very well either! Will have to listen to that now. Less progressive on the whole - not bad listening - some standouts here and there, one of which is this, originally from their Phantom of the Night - the single from the album which otherwise doesn't seem to have fared too well ...
And another I enjoyed - "Irene" - an instrumental track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7BKKpkLpGQ
