Show 25: Teardrop Explodes - Guildford Civic Hall, UK - 18 June 1981


A show from their UK tour at the height of their popularity - with their debut album released the previous year and 2 hit singles in 1981. Including tracks from that album and their second, due to be released a few months later - including Passionate Friend, which would be their next hit single.

This was an FM radio broadcast and has responded well to remastering - plenty of punch to this show.

UPDATE: And now in 2018, I've made it sound better! While preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d originally done to the recording several years ago. 

This show was in mono and has been upgraded further to sound better. At the same time I've created a simulated stereo one as well. 

You can now download this new mono version version HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file 
or the new simulated stereo version version HERE.

If you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format of the new version, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.
