Here & Now played at University Of East Anglia on April 10th 1978.
Here & now also played in Leicester on June 15th with Daevid Allen and George Bishop.

This is an obscure show, it could even be a composite of various sources
(disc 2 track 7 can also be found on the "Gong Xmas Party", Dec. 19th 1978).
Many tracks fade in and out, there are lots of cut and most of this tape is made of jams.
Quite hissy but enjoyable. Some is definitely soundboard, I'm not sure if there is some stage or
audience recording (maybe deteriorated sbd).
Gilli Smyth can be heard at the end of track 7 disc 2.

I received this as show as 2 CDR's in a trade. Just three tracks (One 62 min.).
I retracked it, edited a repeated fragment, and crossfaded a cut (Disc 2 track 7, no music 
missing, so it is unnoticeable).
