Music reviews of Short Circuit Live: at the Electric Circus
Music Review: Spotty but worth owning
Rating: 3 Stars
This was originally a Factory Records compilation, long out of print, then reissued on CD (and it seems to be out of print again). Basically, it's a handful of live recordings from the last shows at the Electric Circus, a Manchester club from the 70's. Some of the bands, such as the Drones, sound dated and boring, but the Buzzcocks' "Time's Up" is fantastic; the Fall contributed two solid performances ("Stepping Out" and "Last Orders"); Steel Pulse ("Ku Klux Klan") show that reggae doesn't have to come from Jamaica to be good; and John Cooper Clarke's wacky beatnik-style poetry still works. It's a shame that the Joy Division track, "At A Later Date," is not one of their more memorable efforts.
If you are a Buzzcocks fan, you really need to hear the version of "Time's Up" on here. It's definitely the highlight of this album.
