Sex Pistols,

A good recording, from an unknown source, but probably audience. This is the third earliest known live recording of the band (the earlier gigs are St Albans on 28th January 1976 and the Nashville Rooms on 3rd April).

Sex Pistols,
Stowaway Club, Newport, UK, 23rd December 1977

Good sounding audience recording of the Pistols' on their final UK tour. There were just two shows after this (Cromer on the 24th and Huddersfield on Christmas Day - see earlier posts for these shows) Given the primitive cassette recorder with which this would have been taped (and the number of generations of tape it must have been through over the years), it's really very listenable, and a much better recording than the one of the same show which appeared on the "Where Were You in 77?" bootleg LP.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds,
Pandora's Box Festival, Rotterdam, Holland, 12th October 1985

Excellent FM radio broadcast, made a few months after the release of the band's second album "The First Born is Dead" and including songs from that and debut release "From Her to Eternity." This set also includes a cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" and "Sad Dark Eyes," a song by mid-60s Australian band The Loved Ones which was only played by the Bad Seeds during 1985, though Cave had performed it a few years before while in The Birthday Party.
