Notes: This was the first Fivepenny Piece LP to be issued on EMI's One-Up label, and the band's
first live album. It was recorded at the
band's "home", the Broad Oak Hotel in Ashton-under-Lyne. The set gives a good impression
of what the band's live shows must have been like, and as expected, they put on a
good evening's entertainment for the punters. As with the studio albums, the set
contains a variety of material, this time with their Lancashire humour well to the fore,
including a couple of monologues for good measure. The set also includes a couple
of covers - Tim Hardin's well-known If I Were A Carpenter; and
Alex Glasgow's humorous Keep Yer 'And On Yer 'Alfpenny (which incidentally was also
recorded by West Country heroes The Wurzels who still include it in their stage act today). The album
also includes the beautiful Radcliffe-Meeks song Brown Photographs.
