I saw Cook da Books a few times when I was a student in Liverpool back in the 80s. A great band who deserved much more success than they had - I still own a few of their singles too. Great to see this live video and to hear some of the songs that were never released - happy memories of a great three years in Liverpool 😊
Dude............ you have NO idea how happy this makes me. I thought some of these songs will remain as low quality, muffled 480p(s) from 2009 or somewhere there. Especially Gotta Learn How to Fight it. If you recorded the audio losslessly and shared that too, that would not just make ME happy, but perhaps the surviving Cook Da Books members.
@@seanmoran2258 Who knows?? You replying is good news. I am not asking anything of you right now, keep digitizing tapes, and maybe try putting them somewhere people can buy legitimately. The only thing I can give YOU is 2 soundtracks by Vladimir Cosma, he really liked Cook Da' Books and worked with the band several times.
@@NotOrdinaryInGames just trying to sort that stuff out now with my sister... Hopefully will be very soon! I've found a load of live stuff from them too which sound really good. Will get them up here soon x
@@seanmoran2258 As long as I can pay for uncompressed music, that would be great. I don't want to make a Spotify account just to stream only. Fingers crossed for the Peels sessions.
Massively mismanaged by their 'friend' John Smith as many other band's over the years. Should of been massive with some of their tunes like Golden Age, Low Profile, Up In Smoke and many more x

Just wow! Thank you for digitizing 80s diamond ♥

Thanks from Germany
I was just playing some cassette tapes I recorded in around 84 which had this very concert on, often wondered what happened to them.

Wow! Talk about underrated. Cracking vocals! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Fantastic. Thank you for uploading this!
Excellent ♥️
Christ, this version of Golden Age is even better than the album version
It's incredible...those vocals are something else.
What a voice Owen had ❤❤

Have they ever performed their biggest hit “Your Eyes” live?
Was this broadcast on TV long ago? It looks familiar. I definitely had a VHS recording of them live, must try and find it....
why do their songs aren't on any streaming plateform?? :(
Trying to sort that out very soon... fingers crossed

Here you are again! Found you. Such a shame you never got any of my replies due to YT thinking I am a bot or smth.
@@NotOrdinaryInGamessorry mate, I've got two accounts and can't get on one, maybe it's that?

What become of them ?

Wasn't Tommy Scott from Space in the band?
@@seanmoran2258 Please, why didn’t the band simply carry on in the 1980’s and just get a new deal?
What year is it?
So sad they ended up playing shitty pubs.
They played some great pubs in the 80s.
Indeed. Caught them live in Birmingham back then.
@@anthonyparkinson4517 shame they never made it. Ended up playing pubs. So sad
