ROB SEZ: OK, here's one last share for the Deacon Blue fans out there. This is what the band said when they released it a short while ago: "A rare and complete, never-heard-before recording of Deacon Blue's performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on the 23rd December 1991. Recorded as part of the 'Live Hoodlums' tour, we proudly present the band’s own official recording of the final concert from their 3-night residency. The audio was restored and remastered in 2017 specially for this release." (If you can't get enough, be sure to look for this week's rather impressive mystery bonus share.)
