Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The past may well be another country but at times the borders between then and now shift and blur so much that what was once the highest form of art soon comes back to entrance once more. Like a woman in the flourish of youth at Court being presented in front of a gaping, slack jawed crowd and then returning 40 years later and still able to command authority with wit, guile and brains and having the same crowd dance to her tune, the past comes back with frightening agile speed to ensnare and beguile us when we least expect it.
