Inmates' releases

Produced by Vic Maile. Recorded live at La Villette, June 20th, 1987.

Most of The Inmates releases have been released in Japan with bonus tracks.
I don't think this one contains further bonus tracks than the ordinary release in France.

An extract from the booklet:
"Here is the first 'journalistic concert' in rock's history. Treated by a newspaper (Liberation, french daily) as a topical event.

The news to be covered - without falling in the usual traps of nostalgia and repetitioin - in that spring of 1987, was following: the twentieth anniversary of the fabulous "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band".

The angle chosen, after many attempts, was finally 'the dream'. A dream. The impossible reconciliation of these two mythological English rock groups: The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, supposedly impossible due to the fundamental antagonism over the years and the deaths. Why not continue what The Rolling Stones started in 1963 when they 'dirtied up' The Fab Liverpudlians "I Wanna Be Your Man"?

Why shouldn't the rhythm and blues masters of 'dirty sound' (impregnated with reminiscences of Chuck Berry) join, just once, with the ultra-clean rock of those Cavern men who europeanised Chuck Berry for the whole world to hear?

Why not repeat the memorable moment of that "Great Rock 'n' Roll Circus" when Brian Jones and John Lennon came together? Why not...change the course of fate, reach the Promised Land, for just one night?

The idea of The Inmates, revivors of the R&B spirit (long lost by Messirs Jagger and Co), crashing with the terrific shadow of The Beatles, came out from the journalistic dream. A little tasteless, but nonetheless...A unique gig at La Villette, by a very strange band indeed: The Rolling Beatles".
