Echo & The Bunnymen: It's All Live Now (2017)

Untitled
It's All Live Now is an interesting record. It consists of mostly cover versions, with only two Echo originals. The are Crocodiles and Do it Clean. I have to say that the band chose the cover tunes very well. We get Paint it Black (Stones), She Cracked (Modern Lovers), Run Run Run and Heroin (Velvet Underground), Friction (Television), and more. The recording is very good. Here are some of the notes from Discogs:

"This is a limited release of 2987 copies.

Single sleeve tip-on UV-laminated Stoughton jacket with a printed insert that includes liner notes by Will Sergeant

Tracks A1-A2 recorded live in Sweden (no venue or other details given).
