"Live Ghosts", a live recording from the first Italian tour (taken at St. Agostino's Cloister in Bergamo on September 8th, 1988), has been produced by Italian Materiali Sonori on three different formats - LP (MASO 33047) , CD (MASO CD 90004) and cassette (MASO MC 33047).
1. "More Mosaic" 2. "Ghetto Raga" 3. "Druid Three" 4. "Live Ghosts"
played by Glen Sweeney, hand drums; Mick Carter, guitar; Paul Minns, oboe and Allen Samuel on violin.
At that time, Sweeney was really electrified by the new chance to play again on live
concerts. After some weeks of rehearsals in London, at the ex Cambodian Embassy, on Summer 1988, where the band recorded some tracks (one of them, "Necromanticus" will be realised as a bonus track in 1993 on a new edition of the CD - MASO 90004),
the band hired two SW cars and came to Italy for a two gigs tour (Bergamo and Umbertide, a beautiful smalltown near Perugia). The group included also Paul Minns'wife, Kathryn Ade.

That evening in Bergamo was really magic for us. As a dream that becomes reality. The group played really very well and, despite all the years passed, the music seemed 'that' one...

One of my favourite concert ever, for myself the best record realised by the reformed TEB!
