It'd make sense that he's been touring non-stop for a good few years now. I know he's had a history of being screwed over by his management, didn't think it was quite that drastic though.

That Isle Of Wight show's the one Sing Another Song Boys from Songs Of Love and Hate was taken from wasn't it? I'll keep an eye out for that one if that's the case. I've seen the live at London album in a few places as well, but that was all before I completed the discography - back when getting the studio albums took priority. It's one of many albums that's been on the radar for a while with me.

I'll confess that I'm not really a huge fan of New Skin For the Old Ceremony myself, probably because of the album it follows up. When it comes to his pre-80s work beyond his first trio of albums, I'm much more a fan of Recent Songs and Death Of a Ladies' Man. I'll give it another listen or two before I start writing about it though.
