The Freshies - Manchester Plays (1980)

A promotional cassette limited to 15 copies which were sent out to local radio sessions by Chris Sievey between 1979 - 1980. This is the 1980 version with an interview promoting the 'My Tape's Gone' single.

Interestingly the 'Offical' version, released in November of 1982 by Stick It In Your Ear Records cuts the interview entirely and features 22 minutes of silence at the end.
You can download that version here http://www.siiye.co.uk/musicsite/plug...

HUGE thank you to Steve Bond for sending me a rip of his copy of this.

And remember, you can support the Sievey family and show that there is interest in this material by buying the Chris Sievey compilation album, Being Frank, available here.
