Andy HortRory Gallagher - Live (generally known as Live In Europe)
On what would have been Rory's 78th birthday, it seems appropriate to play this, the first album of his I bought.
I'd just seen him do two sets at the Great Western Express festival near Lincoln in May 1972. As I remember, I bought the album from the very young Virgin Records, when it was a cut price mail order company taking out full page ads in the Melody Maker and other music press.
It's a US pressing, and in remarkably good nick considering the almost constant playing it got from me as a 17 year old.
