This is a FM broadcast. I've two versions of this show, one remastered from the original vinyl. The show is available in both flac & audio formats. There is also some confusion over the date of the original show, with the alternative date being the 11th March 1981, rather than February.
The Vapors
Civic Hall
Guildford, UK
(February 11?), 1981
BBC Rock Hour #221
Broadcast the week of May 24, 1981
This show comes from a vinyl BBC Rock Hour transcript disc I've had for many
years. I had transferred the disc a few years back but decided to do a fresh
transfer on a brand new USB turntable. Over the last week I've tried to
meticulously remove any and all clicks, pops, crackles, and put the whole think
back together seamlessly after the removal of commercials and commentaries. I've
included scans of the original radio cue sheet as well. Hope you all enjoy
this...the version of Magnets is especially brilliant!
Lastly, I had a date jotted down for this show as occurring February 11, 1981. I
don't recall where I came across this and have no idea of its accuracy so any
input or corrections would be appreciated.
