Brian Brain - 5th November 1980 - Hurrah, NYC, USA

In 1980, Martin Atkins left Public Image Ltd to concentrate on his band Brian Brain with Pete Jones (who also played with Public Image Ltd in 1982 and 1983) on bass and Bobby Surgeoner on guitar (later replaced by Olavarria's husband, Geoff Smyth). Brian Brain released six singles and one LP. The band had had a minor hit in 1980 with "They've Got Me In The Bottle"  and club hits with the singles "Jive Jive" (1981) and "Funky Zoo" (1982).

New links for old posts & upgrades

Just letting you know that rather than doing loads of reposts, I'm just updating old posts with new download links.

Since my original posts were made I've managed to getting many, many upgrades of various gigs that were shared here on Acid Drops. Previous MP3 & WAV recordings are now available as FLAC rips. Some are also actually better sounding, clearer recordings as well.

I've managed this by tracking down 1st gen cassette recordings & CD-r's. Many recordings have been donated to the blog as MP3's (for which I'm eternally grateful for) but I'm always on the look out for an upgrade.

Please continue to contact me if you have any recordings you wish to share. If I need them I'll have them. As you know I'm not fussy about the format, I'll always take what I need until something better comes along.

I have now uploaded every single Sex Pistols/PIL/Post Pistols & Ex PIL recording I own to various cloud drives so for the first time ever I'm actually very organised to any request for a new link can now be met very, very quickly.

Please note I will NOT be sharing links for any official released material - if you want that then support the artist by buying their product.

Stay in touch, all the best
