Henry Cow: Concerts (Caroline CAD 30002 103 mlns) ****
Dave Laing, Sounds, 19 June 1976
THIS IS as good a place as any for new listeners to get into the music of Henry Cow. In purely economic terms this double album provides a lot of music for your money (£3.25). More important, it offers a chance to hear Henry Cow in their most significant setting, the extended live concert. Because, for an exploratory and experimental band, live performance provides the space to push back musical boundaries and to create new musical forms without the pressures of the studio situation.
