"The Old Angel, Nottingham, 1990. (...)
For reasons that escaped me now, I'd hoarded 171 used train tickets. It felt like a cool idea to read them out. So I did. Not in the privacy of my own home, but to an audience. They seemed to enjoy it..."

Apparently Richard Youngs "hoarded" 171 used train tickets and thought it would be cool to make a perfomance out of them. This is a live recording of him reading each and every one to an audience before his band played.

Recorded @ The Old Angel, Nottingham, 1990.
