A new box by Cabaret Voltaire in the shops

The Intone label is now relaunched with a 3 CD Box Set of Cabaret Voltaire live recordings from 1982 and 1985. Live in Liverpool(1982),live in Sheffield(1982) and Live in Toronto (1985).

Cabaret Voltaire circa 1982 was kind of post Rough Trade, pre- Some Bizarre/Virgin and these recordings capture the band at a fascinating career phase. The recording from Toronto was the next to last date of a North American tour from April/May 1985.

The Cabaret Voltaire live concerts of the 83-85period were much more anarchic than the studio recordings and arguably just as interesting in their own way, like some kind of soundclash going on in realtime. This release will be a good primer for the forthcoming Cabaret Voltaire box set, (collected works 1983- 1985) coming in November.
