The Capitols - Burberries, Birmingham 31/3/1987


Persistant rain, flood warnings, waterlogged public access areas, cold, skint, nothing to look forward to on telly bar Emmerdale and repeats of the Magic Roundabout - must be christmas time in the UK then.

If, like me, you've reached the age whereby an overbearing sense of doom is cast over your yuletide spirit if you haven't received at least two pairs of socks as gifts, console yourself with this excellent live recording of short-lived Brum quintet The Capitols. Both sides of their lone single are performed, alongside tracks from their equally lone Peel session, plus a few lost gems that may or may not exist  elsewhere other than this recording.

Many thanks to Mr. P. Symons from the shires of Leicester for the recording, and Mr. L. Thacker of Brumagen for the photo.
