DEPARTMENT S

artist: DEPARTMENT S (London, ENGLAND)
venue: ?? // BBC
location: ?? / London, ENGLAND
date: 1980 // 1982
length: 32 minutes

HERE
Six songs recorded live in 1980 and a four song Peel Session from 1982. Both recordings start with "Is Vic There?" - the live version is fast as hell and the Peel Session is drowning in synths, both renditions are great, and are complete departures from the track released as the band's first single.
