Flac files of wavs.  

Digitized from a cassette I received from a tape trader in Tokyo.  The generation is not known, but the sound is pretty good.  The high end is a bit dull so you may want to up the treble a bit.  The original source is an FM broadcast.

The "intro" is odd.  It's got the stage intro to the concert, then it switches to Paddy McAloon and Wendy Smith in the studio, introducing the radio broadcast of the concert.  The show is about 40 minutes long, so it's clearly an edited version of a longer show.  Why have the little bit of the stage show introduction and then edit in a studio introduction?  I'd do it as studio introduction followed by the stage intro.  I could rearrange 'em to run in that order but I figure it's better to give it you guys the way it was broadcast.

I don't speak any Japanese, but a bit of research indicates that Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Kaikan translates (roughly) as Tokyo Employees Pension Assembly Hall.  As such, there are different "Kosei Nenkins" in other cities in Japan, too.

The story behind this tape is the guy I was trading with had an actual copy of the BBC transcription disc.  It sounds like it, but unless I've done it myself I'm never 100% sure.  The songs on my tape had some vinyl surface noise, so it's a believable story.  I've gone through it and cleaned the clicks 'n' pops, so it sounds pretty darned good.

"Cars and Girls" came out over two years later in March of 1988 on "From Langley Park to Memphis."  "Wicked Things" and "Tiffany's" wouldn't show up until "Protest Songs" in June 1989... three and a half years after this was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 1.
