25-USD-CD-1599
In May, 2000, hot on the heels of their excellent (if a bit over-produced) reunion album Ça Va, Slapp Happy embarked on their first ever tour of Japan. The original trio of Dagmar Krause (vocals), Peter Blegvad (guitar, vocals) and Anthony Moore (piano, keyboards) perform a wonderful selection of tunes from their earliest times to the then present, all presented in a very simple format of piano/keyboards, guitar and vocals; a very acoustic format where they work wonderfully well. The playing from Peter and Anthony is sensitive and Dagmar especially is in rare, fragile, intimate form! This was originally released only in Japan in a very limited edition. I got a copy courtesy of Anthony, but my pleas to the label to please sell them to us so I could offer them to you were ignored. But now it's been reprinted in an exact edition and we can do so. Highly, highly recommended, especially if you love Dagmar.
