Where do the music end and the listening begin?

Written by Miriam Hlavaty

10cc Live in Bergen

Written by Karl Erik Sylthe

There is something almost unnatural with this setting - 10cc in Alvøen sound almost as surreal as if Rolling Stones were playing at the local stage on Bremsnes. or Bruhagen. And believe me - I`ve been there nearly half a century ago, but Stones didn`t make it.

But, here's a frightening experience for us who have collected on the old ones for many years .. About original pressings.
