The Clash - If music could talk vol. 1 + 2

Repost : this is a strange clash boot for you all today.i got it as a 2 disk cd-r a few days ago and honestly had never heard of it before.it seems to be a compilation of other bootlegs from 'd.o.a' and 'rudeboy' etc.theres also some live tracks from unknown(to me anyway)sources but disk 2 has a few remixes etc that ive not heard recently and some mescaleros live pieces etc.also on disk 1 is a track called 'rudy ska' that is supposedly a recording from the clash and the specials but to me it doesnt sound like either of them(in fact i know it definitely isnt so not sure why its on here!).i think this bootleg was originally taken from vinyl sources or at least a vinyl version seems to exist.i must see if blackmarketclash.com have any info on its origin.so have a listen and tell me what you think.if anything its another for the clash completists out there.so then enjoy it and leave a comment.thanks!

Sex Pistols - Winterland Soundcheck 1978

greetings pop pickers!. got this little gem this morning from camden dave so i thought id take a short break from B.A.D to repost it here. Its the soundcheck from the infamous gig at the Winterland in Jan of 1978. Theres a lot of on stage jamming, sid playing ramones bass lines, the band run through a few numbers and lots of banter and swearing between the band and others. Anyway it runs about 20 mins in total. the sound is brilliant throughout but i suggest turning it up and hooking up a pair of good headphones to capture it in all its glory. you all know the history of this gig so without further ado please listen, enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

XTC - Peel Sessions repost

originally formed in 1972 and going through several name changes and line ups the band finally settled on the name XTC in 1976.they released their first single in 1977 and their first album 'white music' in 1978.im not sure of the exact dates of the session recordings but i think one was recorded on june 24th 1977.anyway its better for you to just listen,enjoy some great music and then leave a comment.thanks
get your XTC here kids!
