It will not come as a surprise to regular visitors to the blog that I retain an obsession with Medway's finest... The Prisoners. Over a quarter of a century now since I first saw 'em (supporting The Ramones, Manchester Apollo). Nonchalant young music snob that I was... left the Apollo after they'd finished their support set...
Been meaning to have a look through the clips I've saved on "my favourites" on youtube" & surpise, surprise, there was quite a lot of Prisoners stuff.
Dedicated to fellow Prisoner fans T.C, Nicola (Italy) & Dougal (Liverpool)
Includes a great version of "Reaching My Head" from The Tube, 1984, as released
on the "Four on Four EP". Prisoners segment approx 6mins in...
Live TV footage, 1985. Live favourite and album track. (Actually titled "Explosion
On Uranus")
Cover of the Joe 90 TV theme. Had to include this for novelty value. Got this in
the car on a Prisoners CD & the kids won't let me play anything else just now...
Rare live footage of "Melanie", France (Rennes ??), December 1983.
More Prisoners, Prime Movers, Solarflares, Graham Day & The Gaolers +++ clips on the way soon... Wish I'd thought of the clip post before !!
