"Earlier & Much Later
with... The Beautiful South"
Escape Music (US) 1998 ($26 +Shipping)

This video dubbing, includes the full length version of the "Later with Jools Special" cassette, with over 33 minutes of unbroadcast music from the Later Special, as well as live tracks from "The Pumpkin" & "Carry On Up the Charts" and a few rare Beautiful South live B-Sides not included on "The Beautiful B's".

Frankly, the capture quality could be higher, particularly on Disc 1, although capturing from video tape is never fun.

Disc 2 is particularly nice as the concert material is a bit older.

Includes tracks from all their albums recorded live at the BBC, Spa Royal Hall - Bridlington, St. George's Hall - Blackburn, and The Late Show.

Features guest appearances from James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers, Sam Moore, Iris Dement, Black Dyke Mills Band, Courtney Pine and the London Community Gospel Choir.
