Tracks 2 to 5a, 8, 9, 12 : recorded 1976 at Joe Gubay's house in Graveny (4 miles from Canterbury)
Tracks 1, 5b, 6, 7, 10, 11: recorded 1977 at Vince Clarke's basement studio, Downs Road, Canterbury, with one re-mix and overdub at John Murphy's place in Herne Bay.

There are very few overdubs, all the tracks were recorded as 'live performances' to TEAC 4 tracks. We thank Jeremy for his talent.

Zopp
by Zopp

supported by 5 fans who also own “Canterbury Knights”

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
