Cornelius Cardew - Take Up the Fight

Pip Pyle's energetic drumming drives the unequivocal call for people to 'take up the fight' against the nazis and their protectors. Recorded in 1976 at a joint production Remember Cable Street by Recreation Ground Theatre Company and PLM at the historic Unity Theatre, London. Originally a railway workers' chapel before becoming a workers' theatre, it was used by a broad spectrum of performers. Pip nearly left his drums to collect next day on his way to a session in central London. Fortunately he took them with him as the theatre 'mysteriously' burnt to the ground in the early hours of the morning Nov 6th. PLM/Rec' were due to perform at Unity that night too, but didn't due to a double booking.
