DEAF SCHOOL : Hardman House Hotel, Liverpool, 24/6/88 (2x CD)

This 24 carat gem marks the blog's 2nd anniversary...
download, enjoy & leave a comment...
Sincere thanks to Phil for this cracker, recorded in Liverpool, 1988 by the reformed Deaf School. There have been a few technical issues related to posting this, & Phil has gone above and beyond the call of duty to get it to the blog. As such, I trust there will be a few comments for him - there must be more fans out there other than Phil, Geoff & myself ! 

This has more than a few links with the fabled Stiff Records - Suggs, Clive Langer & the legendary Nick Lowe - he should have been on the list of bass players recently named in the c-box discussion.

As always with "guest posts" I've included Phil's original link then uploaded it to Rapidshite as a back up. I'm also chasing their three John Peel Sessions, so hopefully I'll be able to post them soon...
