Topper in 1989 with Louis Bertignac and the Visitors. They play IFTL.
Neat because this was a big gap for me in my Topper history. I thought he was driving a cab or something around this time in the throes of his addiction. Sounds great, but doesn't look so clean.

Watched "Flog It" yesterday and they used the harmonica break from "Gates of the West" on a loop at one point.

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.

GEER is the best Clash album
GEER is the most consistent Clash album
GEER would be perfect bar Cheapskates
GEER in fact would be the best album ever if Cheapskates didn't make an appearance.

Cheapskates ruined a perfect album. No idea why but it sounds pirate-ty to me. Can't get rid of the urge to sing yo ho ho and a bottle of rum after the first line.
