Nils Lofgren @ University Of Lancaster		Which just goes to prove you should never believe what you read in the papers.

The gig was definitely at Lancaster on Saturday May 15th. I kept a diary back in those days, which describes the gig in some detail. It notes that Unicorn were very good, though I now have absolutely no recollection of them. Lofgren came on about 9:45. I didn't think much of him at first, but warmed to him as the gig progressed.

To doubly confirm the date, I can tell you that I watched Scotland beat England 2-1 earlier the same day. My diary notes that England were "bloody awful, absolute crap, terrible ..." (no change there, then.) A quick Google of that debacle confirms the date as 15/May/76.

The date is further confirmed in the excellent book "When Rock Went To College - Legends Live At Lancaster University 1969-1985", by Barry Lucas & Paul Tomlinson. Barry booked all the gigs at Lancaster during those years and a quite amazing array of talent it was.

Dominic Behan And Ewan MacColl - Streets Of Song		Out of curiosity, why is this listed separately from this 12T41 ? The other listing has three different covers, all different to the above. I know each listing has a "See Also" link to the other, but that seems a bit of a cop out. Either the four variants should all be on the same listing or each variant should have its own separate listing. My personal vote would be for the former, since the latter is too much like the dickogs "hunt the variant" game, which wastes so much time. No doubt others have their own views.

(after extensive discussion this has now been merged with the other variations, mod.)

Jimmy Shand And His Band - A Jimmy Shand Selection		Alternative label scans added. Does anyone have any idea which is earlier, the (more common) faux tartan label or the plain red variant? (your labels given pride of place now. mod.)

The Boomtown Rats - Lookin' After No. 1		There appear to be two slightly different sleeves for this release. The little fella at the bottom right isn't present on some printings, replaced by a wider "Mulligan". I don't know which one is earlier.

The Jim Cooper Band - Stray Sods Finding Their Way		Does anybody have a rough idea regarding the date of this one? From the style of sleeve and labels, I'd guess 70s.
