I think this is probally my favorite record of all time!
first heard it on a Graeme Park tape from 1990 and spent the next 18years tracking it down!
Since submitting this i asked about it on the Official Blow Monkeys Website and got this reply from the webmaster

OFFICIAL RESPONSE ! I did ask Dr Robert a while back, and he said....
It is indeed me and my friend Hector who co-produced the ‘springtime’ album.
Thought we would put it out there under a different name to try and avoid ‘preconceptions’

so there you go!

Could this possibly be the finest live blues/rock album ever? in my opinion YES by an absolute mile.
From the first chords of 'What's Going On' to the frenetic guitar/drum/bass duel of 'Catfish', you sit back and wonder how 3 guy's can make so much noise! Even the occasional feedback from Rory's trusted strat sounds perfect, like it had been placed there on purpose.
Both John Wilson's drumming & Richard McCracken's bass add to the raw power of this so-talented trio, This really is British (Irish) live blues rock at its finest

Well at the risk of being very unpopular (get the lynch mob out now!) heres my views on this release.
I Purchased this when it was first released and recently came across it while adding my collection to discogs After reading the comments about it, i decided to give it a good listening while out in the works van the other day.
Disk 1 starts promisingly with the 3 excellent mixes of 'Song For Life' followed by 'For What You Dream Of', but then in my opinion, the next 4 tracks plod along with nothing much to keep the listener entertained at all! until the inclusion of 2 of the best 'Junior Boys Own' mixes of the era and the always superb Sasha accamix of 'Remake & Inner City', but again fades somewhat towards the end of the disk, where we find the annoying monotone droll that is Heather Small!
Disk 2 again starts off with the excellent 'Fluke - Slid' then all goes a bit to 'progressivly/trancey' for my liking including the dire 'Grace - Not Over Yet' (god i hate this tune, i never realised how much until i heard it again), but then suprisingly ends with the fabulous 'Kym Mazelle - Was That All It Was' - take note Heather!
Disk 3 is probaly my favorite, even though it starts with Ms Small's dullcet tones, just about saved by Sasha's QAT remix, a couple by Limbo's finest 'Havana', 'Shawn Christopher' putting Ms Small to shame yet again and the D:Ream reworking of 'EMF - They're Here' all flow together nicely into the classic rave sound of '2 Bad Mice - Bombscare' & the always pleasurable 'It's My Pleasure'

All in all disk 3 for me, but i have to say the fold-out package is superb, and NO! i'm not selling my copy!

I remember when I first heard this, Jeff Young’s Big Beat Show (BBC Radio 1) 5th Jan 1990, I've still got the tape! Where Jeff introduced it as “On oh zone records, outta of the vinyl zone on the west side of London, a track called chime, it goes on for about 10 minutes, can we get an edit, there's some good stuff at the end, were never going to get to the end”, then rings the ‘sacred’ bell, “we like that”.
How right he was!

An essential piece of vinyl!

The Funky Fresh track is very much in the same vien as Fatboy Slim, a simple breakbeat loop with a looped vocal of 'Funky Fresh'. The Dub obviously very similar apart from the omission of the vocal loop.
But for me the stand out track is B1. 'Check The Label', where you are taken back surprisingly to the '90s UK rave scene!
A cut-up vocal loop of 'check-the-label-as-it-goes-round', a chest pounding 808 bass drum, a lovely deep sub-bass loop and a full on 'hands-in-the-air' piano break!
All in all very reminiscent of say, The Production House label circa 1992, which leaves you thinking 'is this really a US release?'
