"I have one more from Tokyo 2002 which is a very strange one. It came as a bonus disc together with the 2002-03-24 Tokyo show. As you will know, the official dates of the Japan 2002 tour were 3/23, 3/24 and 3/28 [3/26 not listed]. 3/23 was in Tokyo at a venue called Mediage.

3/24 also was in Tokyo at a venue called Mandala.

3/28 was in Osaka at a venue called Pata Pata de la Salsa, not at On Air Osaka as you have it.

"The bonus disc mentioned above came without any information. It just had "Richard Sinclair + Friends, Live Tokyo, 26/03/2002" handwritten on the disc. It is divided in 5 tracks, with the last one being 50 minutes long. I left that one in wav format, so you can easily re-track this one.
It may have been a soundcheck...then again...audience can be heard. Please listen for yourself and tell me what you think."

"You'll see exciting and exotic Japanese-Tokyo rocal shows. We have been managing concert space for many years. Many Japanese and world musicians are playing here. I hope that the world people will experience the impression more, it is a wish."

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time I've seen a quid from it.
Thanks to Joerg (Propylaen2001) for the dub and photo of the CD.

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar.
