Girlschool/London,UK 1985 & SC

GIRLSCHOOL from the Jackie Bodymead era, which was a singular point in history. A treasured original recording that conveys the scene is now available. This work was recorded at “London performance on October 4, 1985”. This is a superb audience recording that captures a moment of “RUNNING WILD TUOR”. Speaking of Bodymead, the album “RUNNING WILD” comes to mind first, but she joined the group from the previous “PLAY DIRTY TOUR”, and that scene is still visible in the official video “PLAY DIRTY LIVE”. Masu. First, let’s check the show’s position from the overall picture of the Body Mead era. 1984 January 3rd – March 31st: North America #1 (34 performances) July 28th: ​​Sweden performance September 3rd: Evansville performance November 17th – December 30th: Europe # 1 (10 performances) ← *Official “PLAY DIRTY LIVE” 1985 [“RUNNING WILD” released on February 1st] February 26th – April 13th: North America #2 (25 performances) April 19th – May 9th: UK #1 (3 shows) ・May 15th: Jacksonville show ・July 2nd: London show ・August 24th: Jacksonville show ・October 4th – December 12th: Europe #2 (19 performances) ←★Here★ This is GIRLSCHOOL in 1984/1985 with Bodymead. While the official video “PLAY DIRTY LIVE” was the stage just before the production of “RUNNING WILD”, this work was a concert on the first day of “Europe #2”, the final stage when “RUNNING WILD TUOR” also entered its climax. This work, which records such a show, is truly the best audience with “super”. This work was created by the master craftsman “Crazy S.” and is one of the masterpieces produced directly from the original master on CD. Moreover, this work stands out among the “Crazy S.” collection, which is packed with historical masterpieces. Best of all, it’s intensely on. The lively applause and the sound of the snare sound are imprinted with the audience, but that’s only if you listen carefully with headphones and look for evidence of a guest record somewhere… The sense of close contact with zero sense of distance is like a modern club recording in 2020, and there is no doubt that it is a direct-to-table sound board. The guitar is clear, down to the nuances of the picking that makes the sound swell, and the vocals are clearly differentiated between Kim McAuliffe and Body Mead. It is a super beautiful recording that you can even hear the faint electrical noise emitted from the amplifier between songs. What is depicted with such a sound is a full show from the Body Mead era, which was also the flower of the times. “PLAY DIRTY LIVE” was a different tour and was an excerpt of about 1 hour, but this work was an audience that penetrated at once. There are plenty of numbers that can’t be heard even in that official work. Let’s compare and organize them here. BRONZE era (9 songs) ・DEMOLITION: Nothing To Lose (★) / Emergency ・HIT AND RUN: Hit And Run / Future Flash (★) / C’mon Let’s Go / Tush (★) ・SCREAMING BLUE MURDER: You Got Me・PLAY DIRTY: Play Dirty/20th Century Boy (★) RUNNING WILD (6 songs) ・Nowhere To Run/Love Is A Lie/Let Me Go (★)/Running Wild/I Want You Back (★)/Ready To Rock (Are You Ready?) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard in the official video “PLAY DIRTY LIVE”. …and it looks like this. In addition to the “RUNNING WILD” number, you can also enjoy the controversial T.REX cover “20th Century Boy” and the early songs “Nothing To Lose,” “Future Flash,” and “Tush” in Bodymead versions. And the performance that spells out the set is also hot. Of course, the taste is different from the early days when they were called “MORTORHEAD’s little sister,” but their tough and powerful rock sound is by no means weak. At the time, the album had a strong American-oriented image, but on stage, the catchy songs were injected with renewed passion and were extremely energetic. If it weren’t for the wild image he had when he debuted, he would be more than wild. Or rather, if they had continued like this a little longer, the world would have noticed… Their live performance was so powerful that it made me fantasize about it. GIRLSCHOOL from the Jackie Bodymead era, which is often talked about as a dark history. It’s true that their studio work was at the mercy of the record company’s wishes, but once they hit the road, they were still playing wild rock, and the Londoners responded enthusiastically. This work is a sonic evidence that conveys such scenes even into 2020. In terms of sound quality, it comes close to the official work “PLAY DIRTY LIVE”, but the sense of reality that can be felt down to the room temperature of the club far exceeds it.
