THE SPECIALS : Brixton Academy, 31/10/11

From Brixton to Manchester via North Carolina...

The usual huge thanks & respect to the lovely Cheryl for sharing this...

Be sure to leave her a comment or two please.

PS I've noticed that no one has thanked Geoff for Deaf School despite the volume of downloads.... freeloading wankers.

A New Year can be a new start- why should people like Cheryl, Geoff & even myself bother...??

No comments = NO MORE POSTS. (This invenctive does not include or accuse the usual all round good guys).

THE JAM : Royal Court, Liverpool, 25/9/82.

Welcome to December and what a way to start the festive month...!!

Massive thanks to Gary (S Manchester) for very kindly sending me a cd of his original Double LP of this gig from late in the career of The Jam. This was a "fan club" released bootleg from late 1982 / early '83 and goes these day for upwards of £90! I've added the (correct) track listings, so all you need to do is download the file & get listening. 

This is one file with separated, annotated tracks, though for the completist / anorak, the original playing order is as follows :

Side 1 : Ghosts, A Town Called Malice, The Modern World, Away From The Numbers, So Sad About Us, Move On Up.


Side 2 : Pity Poor Alfie, Fever, Thick As Thieves , It’s Too Bad, Carnation, Start, Smithers-Jones.


Side 3 :  Precious, Pretty Green , Circus, When You’re Young, Down In The Tubestation At Midnight, David Watts.


Side 4 :  Mr. Clean,  All Mod Cons, To Be Someone, The Gift, Boy About Town, Funeral Pyre.

The Jam played the Friday & Saturday nights, September 24th &25th 1982. This was recorded on the Saturday...

For all Jam fans, everywhere, & my blog regulars, especially Herr Pauli, Martin, Jonny & Ian.
