Robert Fripp & The League Of Gentlemen — Minor Man

Minor Man is a track off of the 1981 release of The League Of Gentlemen.
The band was, Robert Fripp [guitar], Sara Lee [bass guitar], Johnny Toobad [drums] and Barry Andrews [organ]. The band played 77 gigs during 1980 and released the one studio album the following year. Late in the tour [1980] Johnny Toobad left the band and was replaced by Kevin Wilkinson.
To date, the studio album has not been re-released on compact disk [in its entire and original format].
however, a very nice set of live recordings was released under the title, 'League of Gentlemen: Thrang Thrang Gozinbulx' and can be purchased at amazon.com [reasonable price for a used copy] and other vendors of quality music.
Another release of live recordings, made in Hannover, Germany, can also be found at http://www.dgmlive.com/archive.htm?artist=18&show=1695

Je les ai vu dans une petite ville du centre de la France, je pensais que le groupe durerait plus longtemps... Enfin, c'est la seule fois que j'ai vu Fripp-the-genius; J'ai toujours le LP...

Thanks for posting this! My favourite track on the album, and introduced me to Danielle Dax. Big mistake of mine, getting rid of the vinyl album!

[rphunt2002]

yes this track must've come from vinyl, as it is not on the CD

[ronpaul2008rocks]
