new XTC bootleg

[barth@ihlpf.ATT.COM (Richards)]

I recently found a new XTC bootleg, BLACK SEA TOUR '81.

It looks like a US-made boot, though I'm not sure.  It has the artwork from
the "Generals And Majors" EP on the front cover, and a promo photo of the
band members on the back.

It was recorded in February, 1981 at the Hammersmith Odeon, and the sound
quality is great.  It's in full stereo, and was obviously taken from a
professionally done tape, and as it's just under an hour long, I'm lead to
believe that it might be from the BBC College Concert Series, King Biscuit
Flour Hour, or some other such radio concert series.

Anyway, the tracks are:

     Side One:                            Side Two:
     --------                             --------
     Life Begins At The Hop               Towers of London
     Burning With Optimism's Flames       Battery Brides
     Love At First Sight                  Egyptian Solutions
     Respectable Street                   Living Through Another Cuba
     No Language In Our Lungs             Generals And Majors
     This Is Pop                          Set Myself On Fire
     Sensor Man                           

I can't recommend this boot enough.  If you see it, by all means, pick it up!
