Here's a "collector's quality" recording from the Fall 1977 UK Get Out of Control Tour. It's actually quite listenable for the era (see sample below) and the performances on this tour are incredible. If you've read the Lester Bangs article where he is on tour with them, this is it. Look for 27 October, Leeds which I have also uploaded.


***************************** WANTED !!! *********************************

I'm always requesting that anyone in possession of nice quality masters or low gens that are lowly circulated or are circulated in bad high gen copies to please torrent them, or to contact me for a trade after which I will torrent them.

There are however a few tapes I have which are of hideous quality, but which sound like they are so far from the masters that upgrades might be nice.

These in particular meet that criteria, and are somewhat significant, so I'm putting out specific requests:


28 June, 1978 - Friars, Ayelsbury

First night of the On Parole with a very rare (only?) All the Young Punks. Probably also the first ever Safe European Home.


4 August, 1979 - Ruisrock Festival, Turku Finland

One of the few one-off gigs during the London Calling recording period. Features the only known to me performance of Four Horseman.


26 December, 1979 - Acklam Hall, London

Secret gig to warm up for the Kampuchea concert the next night. Great performance and includes The Clash playing Keys to Your Heart.


5 January, 1980 - Friars, Ayelsbury

First night of the UK Sixteen Tons tour. Has a rare Death or Glory.


18 January, 1980 - Caird Hall, Dundee
20 January, 1980 - Odeon, Edinburgh
29 January, 1980 - St. George's Hall, Bradford
31 January, 1980 - Leeds University

These tapes seem like low gens might be treats.


6 February, 1980 - Top Rank, Birmingham
15 February, 1980 - Electric Ballroom, London (alternate source?)

Each also feature Keys to Your Heart.
