    These three people together made some of the most extraordinary and haunting music I have ever heard. My first encounter with their music was on a John Peel, show long ago, and it hasn't lost any of its wonder in the intervening years.

    Liz's tiny smile when the camera goes in front.
    Love the way Simon plays high bass notes, then drops, after the instrumental section, dropping for Liz to sing again.

    Wonderful quality video and I'm so glad you saved it. The audio portion can still be adjusted and remastered, but the video itself is crisp and clean. These old video's have something in common; either, you get good video with bad audio, or, great audio and poor quality video. I've sometimes wondered, if it had anything, to do with British media quality?
    Many things were just thrown away, because of this exact reason - Everyone knew of Robin's OCD for perfection.
