The Beat - Hammersmith Palais 1982

With the sad passing on Tuesday of Beat vocalist Ranking Roger at the far too young age of only 56, here is a reposting of a show from the band recorded in Hammersmith in 1982.RR was an awesome presence on the stage,non stop bouncing,dancing and singing from start to finish,a true gentleman who even though i never met him,will miss him terribly. R.I.P
Ranking Roger RIP

For One Night Illegally - The History of Bootlegs

Evening all.here is a really interesting post i received yesterday from Mr Camden Dave.It's a show originally broadcast on Radio 4 in 2009 In which as the title suggests the history of the bootleg recording is traced from the earliest recordings at the Metropolitan in New york in the late 1800's through the 60's and 70's up to the present day(well 2009 at least!).an interesting piece to listen to on your commute to work or similar it runs just under an hour and is well worth a listen.so please listen enjoy and leave a comment,thanks!
