TV Smith's Cheap The Square Harlow 1989

Here's one from TV Smith's Cheap..... a hugely underrated and much missed combo. They were a band railing against music mediocrity at a time when the British music scene was perhaps at its lowest ebb. Stock, Aitken and Waterman ruled the airwaves and guitars were definitely not the flavour of the month. Just a rubbish time which Cheap lightened a little when they played!

Here they are at a relatively early gig at The Square in Harlow.

Nicky Campbell Radio Session BBC Radio 1 10th August 1992

Thanks to Ronnie for this one. Stranglers radio sessions are few and far between and this one completely passed me by at the time.

It is included here both as a complete file as broadcast and with the session tracks singled out. Your choice. Actually, the interview is quite interesting, being broadcast at the time of the 'In The Night' release.

Sex Pistols Sziget Budapest 15th August 2008

Lydon flies the flag

Budapest 15th August 2008

Here's an anniversary show from seven years ago when the Pistols appeared at the Sziget Festival in Budapest. I recall being in the city that August and seeing the posters for the Festival with the Sex Pistols near the top of the bill.

This is a good sounding recording with the added bonus of Hawkwind's 'Silver Machine'.

Here's an incomplete set recording of the band on an early foray north of the border when the band played a handful of Scottish dates that also took in Glasgow and Aberdeen. This is at the request of Andy. Apologies that the sound is as rough as guts, but it is what it is!
