Gang Of Four - Double Cheeseburger 80



Thanks to Dave Sez for this one!

Go4 - 80.02.15 Paradiso, Amsterdam
AND
Go4 - 80.11.08 California Hall, San Francisco

Dave Sez: These are the best two recordings, sound quality speaking, of the 1980 American and European tours - the European leg of the tour particularly is characterized by low-quality audience recordings, viz Den Haag and Hamburg (aka Anthrax Marxists). Whilst the latter is famous as the earliest known vinyl bootleg, the European recordings are really only worth it (but really worth it) for the unreleased tracks (not played in America) which I will collect in a specific "Gang Of Four - Euro Unreleased" download - otherwise, the versions of known songs do not compare to other recordings of the year. These are the only two recordings of Go4 1980 gigs worth having in their entirety despite their failings. This is all there is. Apart from extras. That's all. Dave Sez.

This is a radio broadcast and the sound quality is very good. However, at some point along the way a warped [mangled] tape was copied so at the beginning of one of the songs, the warpage can be heard. Setlist [from cassette tape] :
01. It's Her Factory
02. Outside The Trains Don't Run On Time (tape mangles at the end and in the intro of Don't Wanna Be Part Of This (aka Blood Free, unreleased), but then clears ...
03. title unknown [Part of This aka Blood Free]
