The Quireboys, or the London Quireboys as I first got to know them, were one of my favourites in the early 90s. Between A Bit of What You Fancy and The Black Crowes' Shake Your Moneymaker I scarcely listened to little else circa '90-91. If one were to inspect the photographic evidence of that time period it was black jeans, untucked pin-striped shirt and jacket with the occasional headband. That album cover might have been the single most influential thing on my sense of style. Whether that was a good thing or not is certainly debatable.
This is a live set from 1990, recorded at the Town & Country in London. Quality is excellent, kicking off with an all time favourite: 'Man on the Loose'. The latter song, '7 O'Clock' and the Crowes' 'Twice as Hard' fairly accurately showcases the first few songs that started off about 800 of my mix tapes in the early 90s. They also do the Stones proud on 'Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)'. It's a fun set, good exhuberant rock and roll that pairs well with your second Jack & Coke, your third rum & coke or possibly a 4th gin & tonic. These are merely suggestions you are free to test this out with your own variations.
