On the chilly Sunday evening of the 8th November 1981, the legendary Glasgow Apollo Theatre proved next stop after Liverpool Empire for an artist then on the edge of Worldwide acclaim - Chris de Burgh.
This excellent concert promoting the successful 'Best Moves' album was originally broadcast by Radio Clyde shortly afterwards to a local radio audience and then unbelievably, left to gather dust.

Originally recorded onto 10" analogue tape, River Records have digitally remastered this rare live recording on to CD, and in so doing have even enhanced the quality of the sound.

At only £9.99 from www.riverrecords.com 'The River Sessions' is a concise distillation of Chris de Burgh's best work up to that point and as an added bonus there is a second CD with two tracks from a 1979 Radio Clyde session, as well as an interview conducted at the session.
