On Easter Sunday in 1985, aged 13, I audio-taped a Prince show off the BBC. I was obsessed with it for years. I had painted the inside artwork from Purple Rain on the wall. The full show was eventually released on VHS. I bought that and taped that too. I always hoped that one day it would get re-mastered and an official release on a better format (well, DVD).  On Friday, it happened, so I ripped for you enjoyment...So... here's the whole show...

The show was pre-recorded as the British General Election results came out on Thursday. So the first hour is anti-Tory reggae and punk classics, mostly from the heyday of political punk, otherwise known as The Thatcher Years. The plan was a full two hours, but then technological gremlinism (the internet died) meant a sudden change of plan and a much more mellow, improvised, second half. Enjoying the show?
