Well it's not a dick move if you have no proof of it's existence. Up til now it's only been assumed that Sony had the full tape.
I can't be the only person who thinks being told, "Got something amazing that you'd want. But you can't have it. Sorry." is kinda shitty.
As to PiL the only reason you would have the re-recorded First Issue would be if I had shared it with you in the first place. So you'll have to find a better carrot to dangle than that.
You sonofa!

Well I have some Clash stuff which I've made promises not to share. So does that make me shitty after all the stuff I have shared that I've been able to.
Put it this way if you had some Wire stuff given to you by a member of the band who asked you not to share then I would like to think you would keep it to yourself.
But if it's existence came up in conversation and you explained you had it but couldn't share. I would feel glad that someone I knew at least had a copy. I'd probably be a tad jealous but still understand and appreciate you were solid and good for your word.

I wouldn't mention it if I knew I couldn't share because then I'd be placing myself in the position of letting down, maybe even pissing off, a friend who'd like to hear it. But, again, the analogy doesn't quite work because Sony wouldn't have had this guy work on these tracks if they didn't have interest in releasing them commercially. Which, seemingly, they've changed their minds, and so it's wrong to sit on that shit.

Right so now I don't know if you've got any rare Wire stuff that you can't share because you don't want to let me down. You might be sitting on a ton of stuff you bastard!

Looking again at the pictures of the Lewisham tape. It looks like the tape is incomplete.
Looks like it's missing:
Bankrobber
Tommy Gun
London's Burning
White Riot
Maybe there's a second tape with the remaining songs since it's the last four songs of the show?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

He can do 30 years in jail for me, I want to hear it.
Me Too
Never mind all this twenty years business. The fact is, its over forty years old. I have friends who never even lived that long.
And on a side note, that Hits Back album was a pure money-spinner . Studio versions of a gig setlist . That's a total 360 degrees from the fan-led boots of live versions of studio abums that were so common a few years ago.

Yeah the 20 years is only since it has been worked on not the date of the gig. I don't understand your complaint about the Hits Back comp. It wasn't being promoted as being live or am I missing your point mate?

Fun fact about me: My feet don't smell. Armpits and all that, sure, but even when my feet get sweaty, I can pull off my socks and it's nuthin' but unicorn breath and joy.
