Sitting Pretty With The Purple Helmets Central London Polytechnic 15th March 1988


Something of Dave now and a bootleg cassette that caused quite a stir at the time. A recording of The Purple Helmets at Central London Polytechnic back in March 1988. I won't regurgitate the background to the Helmets here. Search the site under the band's name and its all there. Good drunken fun and for many, myself included, the first opportunity to see members of The Stranglers at close quarters in small, and in some cases, iconic venues.

  2. The tape (cover shown above) was circulated and the bass player was non too pleased apparently.
