The Rainbow 4th April 1980



This then is the definitive document of the two extraordinary gigs that the band played when HAC was detained at her Majesty's pleasure.

This is the full show in excellent quality, uniquely including JJ's 'Do The European'.

The last five tracks come from a session that the band did for The Tube in 1983, but included here as these tracks are also listed on the accompanying artwork.

The tale behind the gigs on the 3rd and 4th April is so well documented it doesn't warrant repeating here, however in ferreting around for additional material I stumbled across some pictures of Toyah with the band that were completely new to me.
