Minutes and Seconds: Live

Minutes and Seconds: Live is the first full-length live album by English singer Alison Moyet, released on 10 November 2014 by Cooking Vinyl. The album features live cuts from her 2013–2014 The Minutes Tour. While the majority of the set consists of new material from her 2013 album, The Minutes, the set also includes songs from Moyet's back catalogue, including songs by her former band, Yazoo. The album's recordings were captured at various venues. Moyet added and discarded songs throughout the run of the tour, many of which did not make this release.
