about

5 Little Soldiers
Spasmodique.
Live 1982 / 1983

For a while early-Spasmodique consisted of five members. This was just after Reinier and Arjo joined the band.
We made a demo-tape on a 4-track Teac Portastudio, which will be added to the forthcoming box set All And More. Bob's brother did the artwork and the resulting tape got us a few gigs throughout the Netherlands. This collection is a live-compilation of all the songs we played during these shows.

Paradiso - Amsterdam, 16 december 1982
t' Beest - Goes, 12 february 1983
de Eland - Delft, 5 march 1983
