They made their debut in 1986 with the album *The Big Lad in the Windmill*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir musical style—which fused a pop sensibility with the structural complexity of progressive rock—and the four members’ handsome looks instantly drew attention, and their second single, “Calling All the Heroes,” became a smash hit, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart. The band steadily gained a following through their active live performances. They began production on their second album with former Gong member Steve Hillage as producer, completing the album *Once Around the World* in 1987. To unveil the album, they held a public live concert on September 17 of the following year at a studio in Teddington, a suburb of London. The performance was recorded for promotional purposes and broadcast on television and radio in January 1988, just before the album’s release.\u003cbr\u003eThis album is a live recording based on that broadcast, with a set list consisting of four tracks from the new album and three from their debut album.\u003cbr\u003eAt this point, the band—which delivered highly polished songs with superb technical skill—projected a presence that was truly unrivaled in the British rock scene of the time. As a bonus track, a live performance of the epic “Once Around the World” from their concert in London on May 13 of the following year has been included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImport Edition (Japanese Specifications)\u003cbr\u003e1 CD \u0026lt;Japanese obi strip, with English liner notes and Japanese translation\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancis Dunnelly (vocals, guitar)\u003cbr\u003eJohn Beck (keyboards, vocals, guitar)\u003cbr\u003eDick Nolan (bass, vocals)\u003cbr\u003eBob Dalton (drums, vocals)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
