Reaction - Alternate Mixes 1978 + Talk Talk @ BBC In Concert 4-10-82


In 1978 The Reaction released one single on Island Records and had one song on the Beggars Banquet label's Streets compilation LP. Not too long after the release of the single the band split up. In 1981 the singer/guitarist started a new band named talk Talk. Here are some alternate mixes for the three songs the Reaction released and a live In Concert show by Talk Talk. Quality is good all around.

Simple Minds - Mars Bar, Glasgow 7-30-78

I recently found this early Simple Minds show posted on the Guitars101 site. Both tracks from the Johnny & The Self-Abusers single and a couple others from their demo are played in the set and this might be the only possibility to hear these tracks live. This was recorded from the audience and despite some tape hiss has good sound quality.

Columbian Neckties - Loppen, Copenhagen 4-1-00 + Demo 2001

Columbian Neckties were from Copenhagen Denmark and rocked the earth in the first 5 years of the 21st Century. They released 3 CD and several singles before leaving. I was lucky enough to see them at this show at Loppen and having never heard of them before was completely blown away. The live show was recorded through the soundboard and the quality on both is very good.
