Prefab Sprout Session, August 1985

[Andrew]

I've got that session but not sure if it's a directfromradio copy or tapetotape edit, mono/stereo etc. I'll try to check at the weekend (tape in loft...)

Did you get hold of the PS 'rarities' 3cd set doing the rounds a few years back?

It's a slight improvement on the versions I seeded at dimeadozen a few months ago but the songs are still cruelly topped and tailed. Doesn't seem to be in the 400 box.

This is part of an archival and recording project which is getting full on Hi Fidelity style OCD, but it's harmless and keeps me off the streets. See some of the results at psgigs.wikispaces.org
