A very nice acoustic show. The 'Fresh & Vital' impro is a sort of a funny 'Kevin Coyne Declaration of Principles':
"I could have been a superstar but I chose to be who I am
I was offered various jobs, I could have joined the Doors you know (it's absolutly true)
But I simply refused
I could have been on the Virgin Record label for the rest of my life
If I had cleaned Richard Branson's car and behaved and become a Thatcherite
But I simply refused
And I'm really glad to be who I am" [...]

350DM! Total rip-off. Wonder how many were finally sold. The music though gets better, many great songs: "Hope the Devil don't Come", "Totally Naked". Although Pukke plays every instrument, Coyne signs a number of songs, played almost solo. This album also marks the first recordings with Robert Coyne.

Another boot of no interest if you already have the albums and do not understand German... The song choice is a worst-off to me.
