Tearjerkers - 1990 - Everybody Wants To Shag... (UK)
.
Recorded live during the Tearjerkers 10 date tour of Ireland supporting Thin Lizzy between April 2-13, 1980. These soundboard recordings are drawn from two gigs but the exact details are unknown to me. The original cassette was housed in a cover with artwork taken from the Magic Roundabout animation series. The banana cover was created for the CD issue which was sold online for a couple of years and then deleted.
