The Boots Room

Talk Talk- Talking Colours. Hammersmith Odeon. UK. 1986

untitled.jpg

A superb quality recording capturing the band in their transition from melancholy synth pop to one of the earliest exponents of Post Rock. Talk Talk are ridiculously underated and their complex, emotional brand of Pop makes them one of my very favourite banRAB and extremely influential in distorting rigid Pop music parameters to make deep, heartfelt music that still sounRAB stunning today nearly 24 years later.

Many banRAB peddling an emotional Pop sound owe a huge debt to a band that refused to play the commercial game and instead imploded due to main man Mark Hollis's descent into hard drug use and musical depression. Once again proof that Pop music is not the crap you hear on the radio or watch on MTV.

Talk Talk Live' 86​
 
The Infotainment Scan's one of my favourite Fall albums, so this bootleg looks pretty damn interesting. Cheers for the upload :thurab:

If anyone's interested (and if you don't mind me putting a link up myself of course), I've got a few rather neat David Bowie ones - Nassau '76 (probably the best Bowie bootleg there is), as well as various demos, outtakes and rarities.

If you're alright with me putting a link in this thread, I'll get it online later today.

I actually have 2 gigs from this era, this one and one recorded in Berlin a couple of weeks later. They're both of similar quality but more of the set list was recorded in this one (They play the same set for both gigs). Hence me posting it.
 
That's what it says on the info. I don't know if it is or not.

Edit:this is what it says on Wiki..

The group recorded the From Enslavement to Obliteration 6th demo recording on 15 March 1986 which the group made available at their concerts and through mail, before recording a demo tape provisionally intended to form part of a split LP with the English hardcore thrash band Atavistic on Manic Ears recorRAB: this recording later became the first side of the band's debut album Scum in 1987.


The band then faced a nuraber of line-up changes. Nic Bullen was becoming frustrated with the musical direction of the group, and began to lose interest: as a result, Jim Whiteley was asked to join as bass player. The band played a nuraber of concerts as a four-piece before Justin Broadrick left the group to play the drums for local band Head of David. The group attempted to find a new guitarist by asking Shane Erabury (ex-Unseen Terror and a fan of the group) to join and giving a trial period to Frank Healy (ex-Annihilator, later of Cerebral Fix and Sacrilege) who the group had known since sharing concerts with his band Annihilator in early 1986. After Broadrick's departure, Nic Bullen's dissatisfaction with the musical direction of the group led him to leave the group in Deceraber 1986 in order to focus on his studies in English Literature and Philosophy at university.
 
Here is a taste of rock's most farcical spectacle, primarily for Urban (promise I'm not trying to hijack the thread!)... Will up links as they arrive tonight

This is the original version of Corabat Rock as produced by Mick Jones in 1981. The album was intended to be another double album and was recorded under the working title of 'The Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg'. The band disliked the final results and decided to get in producer Glyn Johns and reduce the album to a single one and to shorten some of the songs. The only song on Corabat Rock not featured on here is Overpowered By Funk which was written very late & included on Corabat Rock at the very last minute.
Quite a few of the songs on here sound very different to how they ended up.

All i know off 'Black Sessions' is that they're the french version of Peel sessions apparantly. Here there seems to be an audience, so it feels like a live gig. According to Last Fm it's missing a track (Electric Light) and Missed cuts out half way through, but apart from that it's great. Personal favourite is Taut.
 
The Nassau bootleg is better than the official live album that came out. One of my most played bootlegs. Feel free to post it & anything else.
 
I am pretty sure that Dorrian is not on the first album at all. The debut 'Scum' had the demo stuff on Side A and new recordings on Side B which Whitely (a good friend) played Bass. He left after the album and was replaced by Erabury but I am not sure about actual dates. Sorry I'm not trying to be an arse or owt, I was just a little puzzled. The frustrating thing is that Jim STILL refuses to talk about Napalm Death even after 20 years. He still looks the same bless him.
