Live at the Target

Details

Shortly after the release of Early Material, singer Electra McLeod left Twelfth Night (or was asked to leave), leaving the band with a new release featuring a vocalist, but without a vocalist for concerts. Live at the Target was recorded to re-establish the band as an instrumental unit. For the first time, a Twelfth Night recording was released on vinyl.

As the title suggests, it is a live recording, made at The Target, a now closed pub built under the Butts Centre in their home town of Reading.

The Cyclops re-issue of Live at the Target contains "Encore Une Fois" and "Freddie Hepburn" from The First Tape Album and "Afghan Red" from Early Material.

The "Definitive Edition" is a 2 x CD expanded version consisting of the original album and live material, including two rare studio tracks.
