Recorded live at the University Of Durham's Dunelm House in Durham, England on November 16, 1972.

At last the complete Durham '72 gig, my favourite early Richard and Linda show. Many copies of this show (including the one I had for several years) finish with The Poor Ditching Boy, but this one includes the whole show (featuring a rare outing for the wickedly funny When I'm Prime Minister).

A cracking set from Richard and Linda, with a lot of crowd interaction. The sound is slightly muffled (and possibly a slightly higher generation copy than my previous incomplete version), but whilst not on a par with more modern audience recordings I would definitely rate this as an essential bootleg.
