Lloyd Cole - Madrid, Spain 1990 (FM) + bonus

LOSSLESS RE-POST

Madrid, Spain

March 21, 1990
  
plus bonus radio session

   

FM capture (sound quality VG+; a radio broadcast from Spain, there were issues with chatty DJs talking too much. This explains the multiple fade-ins and fade-outs and, unfortunately, the less-than-complete songs. After a lot of editing work, only a few brief DJ voiceovers remain.)

  

Portrait of the artist as a 1990s hipster: Lloyd Cole.
In the 21st century, he continues to make music worth hearing.
