Excellent digital radio broadcast. Big Country were about to release their debut album 'The Crossing' and were undertaking a 34-date UK tour - their first as headliners. The band are in superb form and eight of the songs in this show are from 'The Crossing' - 'Balcony' was a B-side of debut single 'Harvest Home,' and 'Angle Park' was a B-Side of 2nd single 'Fields of Fire.'

Excellent FM radio broadcast. Catherine Wheel had just signed to Fontana following two indie singles. Their first release for Fontana would be 'Black Metallic' - probably their best-known song. This set includes songs that would appear on debut album 'Ferment' which would be released in 1992 as well as songs from the first two EPs.

Very good FM radio broadcast. This show was simultaneously shown live on television, and aired on the radio to ring in the new year. This was the first show I ever recorded myself and the sound on this is very good considering it was recorded via a crappy mono radio-cassette recorder onto a cheap C90 tape and has spent the last 30+ years in a box under the stairs. There's a bit of tape hiss audible through the right-hand channel, but apart from that everything's very listenable.
