Both the sound quality and the performance on this 1986 Swedish radio show are furious. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen. Speaking of favours, YouTube user onionbaraon has Uploaded an ENTIRE concert from Billy's visit to East Germany - phenomenal!!
MRML readers: Let us know you make of this treasure trove of early Bragg stuff in the COMMENTS(which is where you'll find the Live in Malmö link).
Come over and check today's post - a spiky, punky, power-poppin' gem from The Thermals. If you are a Buzzcocks fan you're gonna love it. http://polyvinylcraftsmen.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-dont-believe-you-thermals.html
Haven't listened but many thanks. Saw him in Stockholm that year. Fantastic concert. Maybe one day I'll get around to converting the tape I have to MP3.
