Birthday Party - Posthoornkerk, Amsterdam 11-08-81

The Boys Next Door moved to London in February 1980 and on arrival changed the name of the band to The Birthday Party. The first year in London was a slow and difficult one but in 1981 they started touring again, around the UK, fist trip to the USA and at the end of the year they toured around Europe. This show was one show on that tour. It was recorded by VPRO and broadcast on the radio. Soundquality is very good. Unfortunatley, my tape seems to be missing the first three songs, "Nick The Stripper" + "The Dead Songs" + "She's Hit". Those first two songs from this show can be found on the Cremation bootleg LP.

Boys Next Door - Swinburne College, Melbourne 8-19-77

Boys Next Door were from Melbourne Australia and started off in 1976. Initially the band started as a four piece and were playing mostly cover songs with just a few originals in the classic 1977 style. In 1978 they released their first single with a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Were Made For Walking" on the a-side and an original on the b-side with an additional song being released on the Lethal Weapon comp.

This recording is one of their earliest shows and it was recorded by 3SW student radio. Sound quality is very good. [from cassette tape]
