Sound quality
A second night of benefit raising for the striking Coal Miners families in England and Wales. The two gigs raised money for the miners national strike aimed at toppling the fascist right wing British Government led by 'The Leader' Margaret Thatcher.
Copies of varying quality widely circulate.
Of three lesser ones, one is edited, Brixton Borstal and comes with 2 sec's gaps. It was retitled without gaps North and South.
Arthurs Scragills Xmas Party and Working in a Coalmine II are full but slightly lesser in sound to a nice upgrade which came out of a private collection.
They all have very good sound, but this (Clash War) has a great sound, though the master seems to have some minor problems with the mic?
Highlights include the new songs Dirty Punk and North and South again, but no Fingerpoppin.

Guardian article online or archived PDF
In 1982 Simon Parkes bought a rundown cinema in south London for £1 and for a glorious decade brought music's biggest names to the Brixton Academy. Here he remembers gigs with the Clash, egg and chips with Eric Clapton and hosting the country's first-ever legal raves.
“"The most memorable moment for me was the opening number of the Clash [in March 1984], which was a big breakthrough for the Academy," says Parkes. "They played London Calling, and watching 5,000 people go absolutely mental gave me this feeling in my stomach that was somewhere between the adrenaline of a near car crash and your first kiss from a really hot girl you fancy.”
