a collection of tracks from the period included in a compilation Death To Trad Rock, accompanying John Robb's 2010 book. The three other tracks – "Nodding Dog Moustache", "Faglane Morris Wind" and "Raw Patch" – formed the bulk of the following A Witness 12" single One Foot in the Groove, their 1988 final release with Ron Johnson. The Oberhausen tapes A chance meeting between German A Witness fan Wolfgang Kunst and bassist Vince Hunt at an Inca Babies gig at the 12-Bar venue in London in 2011 led to previously unknown footage of A Witness emerging. Kunst had been in the audience for a concert featuring A Witness and Big Flame at the Oberhausen Old Daddy venue on 9 September 1986 and later ordered from the local record shop a VHS copy of a video featuring four new UK bands: A Witness, Big Flame, Age of Chance and The Wedding Present. In a subsequent conversation in 2012, he offered to send the VHS to Hunt, who had it digitised and uploaded to YouTube in January 2013. The footage features six songs from the album I Am John's Pancreas which was released on Ron Johnson Records just weeks after the show. The songs are "Smelt Like a Pedestrian", "O'Grady's Dream", "The Loudhailer Song", "Sharpened Sticks", "Red Snake" and "Hard Day's Love". There are also performances of "Camera" and "Lucky in London" (from the November 1984 EP Loudhailer Songs, their first release for the Ron Johnson label). This was the first live footage to emerge of "Lucky in London", "O'Grady's Dream", "Red Snake" and "Hard Day's Love", some of the group's best-known songs. The line-up of the band for this show is Rick Aitken (guitar), Vince Hunt (bass) and Keith Curtis (vocals) with a Drumatix 606 drum machine. Hunt later sold the Drumatix 606 to John Robb, who owned it as of December 2012. Reformation with new line-up To mark the 25th anniversary of the death of guitarist Rick Aitken, founder member Vince Hunt assembled a new line-up of the band to perform some live dates. One-time drummer Alan Brown replaced Aitken and singer Simon 'Crayola' Williams (of the group Sarandon) took over vocal duties from Keith Curtis. Goldblade and Inca Babies drummer Rob Haynes joined the line-up with Vince Hunt remaining on bass. The band's first live show was in London in April 2014 with art punk veterans The Cravats.
