General Public - Live '86

todays repost is an absoute cracker.its a live show from general public recorded in philadelphia in 1986.im reading horace panters book 'skad for life' at the moment and in it he talks about his time with general public and what great shows they were to do.anyway it reminded me i had a show of theirs somewhere and after some frantic searching through boxes of stuff found it in a shoebox of cd's inside a suitcase which was under the bed!its a great quality sound recording and they cover a couple of beat songs as well.theres also a nice little speech from saxa on cd2 which is a nice listen.so over to you guys now to listen,dance enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

p.s i highly recommend horace panters book if you havent read it.he comes accross as a really nice guy who loves the music and it also has some real laugh out loud moments.i got mine in a shop called 'fopp' in covent garden in london for only £3.!!
