Alex Chilton & Teenage Fanclub - Glasgow 1996

13th Note
Glasgow, Scotland
April 8, 1996
  
FM broadcast ("Beat Patrol", BBC Scotland; sound quality: VG [multi-generation tape converted to wma files, then to MP3])
  
TFC's Norman Blake & LX Chilton - not really The Odd Couple!
REPERCUSSIONOf all the latter-day groups heavily inspired by Big Star, The Posies and Scottish alt-pop group Teenage Fanclub seem to have won the most respect from the late LX Chilton. Together, LX & Teenage Fanclub recorded a vinyl-only single in 1993 (with "Mine Exclusively" on the A-side and "Patti Girl" on the flip — both rather obscure cover tunes). That same year and in 1996, LX made some live appearances with TFC, one of which was this show in the group's hometown.

  1. Weirdly there seems disagreement online on whether this set was in '93 or '96...

    1. Yup, I saw both dates when I was doing my research. Given the date of the single they did together & other appearances that same year, I went with 1993.

      I accept your take on the correct title for #10. I have to say, though, I saw both when I was preparing the post and just picked one...

  3. The folks identified do have a song 'Come on Back', but sounds way different on YouTube at least...

      Funny, because I don't usually think of the Fannies being a great cover band!
