Question for Fall fans please. Does a full soundboard recording of this show exist? My first Fall show I think it’s also one of @hanleypa.bsky.social favourite Fall gigs Hammersmith Palais 25 March 1982 m.youtube.com/watch?v=sNP2...

On a recent Adam Buxton podcast, he recommended a book called The Big Midweek, written by Steve Hanley - detailing his time as a member of The Fall. I'm about 2 hours from the end of the audiobook (read by Stewart Lee) and, honestly, I just don't want it to end.
