Minutemen - KPFK, Los Angeles 1982 + 1985

Both of these are radio broadcasts and have excellent sound quality. Two songs, tracks 2 and 16, from the 1982 show were officially released in 1984 on The Politics Of Time LP. The 1985 broadcast is the complete show but there is a tape flip after Cheerleaders  so a second or two of the beginning of Maybe Partying Will Help is missing. Can anyone fill in the song titles?

    11--Black Sheep

  2. The 1982 recording seems to have shown up on streaming sites as of October, except it's reported as being a 1984 live recording. Pretty weird.

  3. Two songs from the 1982 recording were officially released in 1984 on the Politics Of Time LP. If you look for that album on discogs.com the correct date is listed as 1982. https://www.discogs.com/Minutemen-The-Politics-Of-Time/release/1513273
