I'd also a few tracks from this show on one of my 1984 mixtapes (also on the wiki)

Look forward to hearing the full show again after 27 years!

I wonder if the one and a bit other shows you have might be in better quality than those already available - it would be great if you could find time to upload these too!

I'm listening as I type and realise that this was a show I heard at  the time -  I've just been and found the cassette with the Mighty Wah session and three of the Cocteau Twins tracks on it with recording dates of 27Sep84. I seem to recall liking the fact that the sessions were played in a lump, and so saving me crouching by the pause button all night to record the tracks I liked (how I now wish I'd just recorded the whole shows and saved my knees).
