    It’s a great thing you mention Cardiacs at least! They’re play in a league of their own!

    Does this Kingston ’84 VHS video contain the whole set? If so, how about running off some DVDs and giving us the chance to buy them?

      With all due respect, I rather think that would be up to the band, no one else has the right to do that kind of thing…

    hi, i uploaded this film from an old vhs. the third song has bits of ‘hope day’ from the seaside cassette with different words, so i guess it’s an early version of that. glad you liked it.

      thanks Nick, that third song obviously sounds like bits of Hope Day, as if Hope Day evolved out of it, but you may have something rather special captured there. Question is, is there anymore to that VHS?
