Recorded professionally in May 1987, this remarkable live set catches The Go-Betweens just before the release of Tallulah. As Robert Forster put it, it was almost certainly the only show in the band’s career captured on 24-track, 2-inch analogue tape, with a mobile truck parked beside the venue.
That rare setup shaped the performance. Rather than a typical Go-Betweens set, the band used the chance to document four sides of vinyl with a more adventurous running order. The result is a genuine one-off show, driven by what Forster called their “wild intent”. These remastered Beggars Banquet releases are available on vinyl individually for the first time in over 30 years, alongside CD editions. Remastered in 2019 for Domino’s G Stands For Go-Betweens Anthology, Volume 2, they spotlight the London years: 'Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express' (1986), 'Tallulah' (1987) and 'Fountains Of Youth'. Songs for 16 Lovers Lane were written around this time.
