Topper Headon Band live - wanted
I would Like to Know if a live recording of Topper Headon Band does exist. I apprecciate their album more than the first of Big Audio Dynamite. I really hope....

Re: Topper Headon Band live - wanted
There's a couple radio sessions, and that's basically it, maybe 10 minutes' worth. I have both of them, as filler on one of my Bond's live tapes somewhere. I don't recall the source being identified, though the DJ announces them as ""The Topper Headon Big Band." That sounds like a flag of convenience he may have been using, I don't know.I would Like to Know if a live recording of Topper Headon Band does exist.

So yes, there is something, but I'm not aware of anything else. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I haven't seen anything else bubble to the surface.
As I recall, he did do some gigging when Waking Up came out -- I have a live review of one of the gigs. No surprises there, as his post-Clash career was pretty brief, and it didn't kick up much dust at the box office, though not for lack of trying.
I remember getting the Leave It To Luck 12-inch, and right across the cover, there's a banner, reading, "EXTENDED MIXES AND EXTRA TRACKS!" So it seemed to me that his label went the extra mile, but the public response just wasn't there, for whatever reason. Which is too bad, because I like that album, too. It's pretty solid.

Sure, I can send a copy -- once I find it -- or try to transfer it myself. I just bought one of those tape recorders with a USB output, which seems like as good an excuse as any to dig it out, and play with it!I would love to hear

At the end of 80s i had a maxell chrome tape with the recording of an his concert at the Milano Suono Festival, on July 1986. I don’t find more this tape but i’m trying to have it again from the same man did this recording.
