Synopsis

Album Description
Eight of the eleven songs are taken from John's last three albums, 'Grace and Danger '(1980), 'Glorious Fool'(1981) and 'Well Kept Secret '(1982). 'Couldn't Love You More' first appeared on One World (1977) but a reworked version featuring Eric Clapton on guitar also appeared on 'Glorious Fool'. 'Root Love' and 'I'd Rather Be The Devil' are the only other 1970s songs and these are reworked illustrating John's determination to move on to a fresh new sound in concert as well as in the studio. In 1978 the film In Search of Anna was released. John wrote the theme tune 'Anna' (which is based on 'Small Hours') and some of the incidental music. 'Dealer' and 'Certain Surprise' also featured in the film along with other music by AC/DC of all people! Although 'Anna' was released as a single in Australia it has never appeared on an album or been released elsewhere. A film soundtrack was never released and this is a rare recording of a live performance of the song.
