Bensen Comes Alive III!
(BE20023-3)

Triple effin' album, none of it is live but then again all of it is live, man; now where do I get my hands on a Vocoder? Three whole other albums and an EP successfully escaped the sinister clutches of this exponentially expanding monster. Enough is enough - here it is without further tinkering.
