Punk Prog 10/12/76; New Wave Prog 29/8/77; '77 Sessions 21/12/77

Was reminding myself of something - that the first Stranglers live  
album (X-cert) was recorded mainly at the Roundhouse - so I wondered  
if the recordings might have come from or ended up on that. But my  
trawl through the web suggests that there's a lot of live recordings  
from that venue including a lot of official(ish) albums as well as  
boots - from the Pink Fairies and XRay Spex through to the Dresden  
Dolls. Suppose they must have had a fairly religious process of  
recording everyone that played at their venue. A bit like the people  
here with Peel shows I suppose...
