Update: the ever-awesome Cherry Red Records is unleashing a new collaboration between Mr. Wobble and fellow ex-P.I.L'er Keith Levene called Yin and Yang.

  2. Are you reading my mind again? I've listened to virtually nothing else but Jah Wobble for the past week or so (inspired by the Wobble-less new PiL album which I listened to all the previous week, and am absolutely loving by the way). I'm not sure if there's anything here I haven't heard but I'm downloading anyway. Cheers, Jeff.

  3. Jah! Nice one! Ill be enjoying this for sure.

    I do think you post too often, though. I dont have time to listen to it all! Play through it, sure! but not really listen to new stuff.
    On the other hand it's a sweet "problem" to have. :D

  5. Other than listening to PIL, I have only ever read about Jah Wobble in books... thanks for expanding my musical education!

  6. Thanks very much for this valuable post. I also have the 1981 cassette but it has jammed so this is very welcome. It is simply titled Live In Europe and gives no other details other than the band lineup and track titles. Human Condition also released another cassette recorded in London in September 1981. Jim Walker was the drummer.

  9. This is a shameless plug for Wobble's NEW album with Keith Levene, Yin & Yang. Not gonna pretend I'm some punter. I've helped on the album and it's out in November on Cherry Red. We want people to buy it. Failing that, hopefully they'll care enough to listen to it. The Facebook page has some tracks to hear. My favourite is 'Jags & Staffs', which is nearly ten minutes long...

  10. Hey, I put your plug right in the main section!
    This blog exists to celebrate and promote the work of under-appreciated artist like Mssrs. Wobble and Levene and we are glad to help promote their work in any way we can.

    Please feel free to share this post with Mr. Wobble to determine if he has any objections to us posting commercially unavailable live material.

  11. Wobble is great. Can't get enough of him. The new Wobble-Levine album wil be well worth getting-- they were the music behind PIL. Thanks for the download.

  12. Grand you're all enjoying this, for me the best dub-funk I've ever heard. And if the great wiel's Dutch recordings weren't enough, circle kindly offers us this 1985 gig, same line-up as in 1983:

    What a lovely New Year's present, thanks circle!

    And for Piblokto, the two Wobble cassette releases (Human Condition Live in Europe, Human Condition Live at the Collegiate Theatre 1981) are both here, with many thanks to mutant-sounds:

    Phenagen (whose name I mangled, apologies) offers us an alternative download for the Collegiate Theatre here:
