The Go-Betweens ‎– Fountains of Youth (Live at the Town & Country Club, London - 10th May 1987) - 2XLP

1987 Live Recording on Standalone Double Vinyl LP for the First Time! 

Fountains of Youth (Live at the Town and Country Club) was recorded professionally in May 1987 and captured right before the release of Tallulah. About it, Uncut said that it "provides detailed evidence of the band's growing confidence and continuously refined songwriting." Robert Forster noted that "This show is almost certainly the only performance of The Go-Betweens' career that was captured on 24-track, 2-inch analog tape. The recording was made from a mobile recording truck parked beside the venue's stage door….Our intentions for the recording heavily influenced the way we approached our performance. What you are hearing is not a typical Go-Betweens show. This is a one off - and it manifests itself in one big way. The set list. Given this opportunity to catalogue over four sides of vinyl, we took a more adventurous course regarding 'the set'. What we have, is not only a one-off recording, but a one-off show. And some of the best moments comes from our wild intent." 

The Go-Betweens are one of the most beloved and influential Australian groups of all time and were the quintessential cult band. Throughout their hugely acclaimed career they sustained an unparalleled artistic consistency which year by year matched the very best of their contemporaries. 

Their three Beggars Banquet albums will be made available individually on vinyl for the first time in  over 30 years. The records were remastered in 2019 for the second volume of Domino's G Stands for Go-Betweens Anthology.
