Review : When Marc played at the later Lone Star on July 17, 1991, Atlantic Records was recording the show. The label later decided that seven of the ten songs Marc played on that very night were good enough to appear as b-sides on five maxi-singles that were released the same year. Now, thanks to the miracles of the internet, the original recording of the concert has surfaced. It contains the three tracks never released (Strangers In A Car, Perfect Love, Saving The Best For Last) plus the seven released songs and Marc's amusing introductions to them, some of which were included on the above mentioned Atlantic releases. Of these intros, correspondent Ben Cosh writes, "Marc underlines his punchlines with strong chords and responds to comments from the audience in his usual, brilliant style."
