Live Line

''Live Line'' is double live album by Australian hard rock band The Angels originally released in December 1987. It reached No. 3 in Australia and No.14 in New Zealand.

Description

The collection spanned ten years of the band's career. The majority of the album was recorded at the Bankstown RSL Club in Sydney, with some tracks taken from earlier tours featuring John Brewster. A live version of "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" was issued as a single, as was a medley of "Love Takes Care" and "Be with You". Following the success of the album, The Angels embarked on a massive tour of Australia with a lengthy three-hour show, with three sets chronologically spanning a significant portion of the band's history. The remastered CD version was released on 8 February 1999 by Shock Records as a double live album and included several songs not included on the vinyl release.

Reception

''Smash Hits'' said, "It could hardly fail with half the songs being basically the band's greatest hits with a whole heap of lesser known but equally excellent tracks that drive audiences wild across the nation. The recording quality is impeccable."
