Does anyone have the back story on Live on the BBC (vinyl)?

I don't, but there are one or two little clues there that make me think 'it's not legit'.

If I had to speculate, it's a recording of the same concert that appeared on the 'Live at the Seaside' video. That was recorded and filmed by the BBC.

The inclusion of Push Me, Shove Me is interesting - this didn't make it onto the final video, so assuming the songs are all from one recording, it's not just a bootleg pressing of tracks from there.

The question is then - is this from an official soundboard or just a crowd recording?

(Option three is that everything is from the video recording except for Push Me, Shove Me, which could just be a crowd recording added as an extra as 'bait'!)

I would like to buy/trade.....do you have a want list, maybe I'm lucky

t`S are a another  bootleg version  of the bbc transcription disc

Those are some ultra-rare Erasure tracks - so rare that even Erasure themselves don't know about them!  Just kidding, but that track listing is HILARIOUS!

Iron My Shirts?  Stay Awake?  Up to Us?

Like nightbird posted, that is just another bootleg version of the 1987 BBC Transcription Disc which did include Push Me Shove Me (aka Poke Me Thrust Me).  

I'm still miffed Iron My Shirts wasn't a single.

This sounded horrible the brief moment I had it .

No, it was a double coupon special at the Dry Cleaners down the street.

^ me at the end of the recent shows, realizing they weren't going to do I Love Saturday or Here I Go Impossible Again...

.....or Iron My Shirts

Quoted from Mikedepaz

.....or Iron My Shirts

True!!  

I love the way they assumed the song was Iron My shirts as it was the last thing Andy said before the song starts,yet nowhere in the song do these words appear!

Unless of course Iron My shirts in Swahili is ....Alava mo ja na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe abo naga na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Alava mo ja na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe abo naga na me me limbaniango limbaniago

is it  "up to us" to " stay awake" to "make the world a alittle better"


"sometimes" " a man after midnight" is a victim of love" he "don`t dance to the rythn" but "leave to bleed" after "iron my shirts"

I think I have what looks to be an official version of this release but the label is slightly different (all black and white). It came with the yellow BBC sleeve, but no printed track listing. It does sound very good. If I was robbed, at least I negotiated the price down on eBay.

As I understand it, BBC transcription discs with black and white labels are all bootlegs.

Official discs have green and white labels, although even that's not in itself a guarantee that it's not fake either.
