@ Hal - Do your own publicity ... :lol:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

and this news just in from an associate of mr marx and co:

Gimme played live?" I don't know, but the FIRST time it was played live
was at The Tin Can club in Birmingham in Jan/Feb 1984. Remarkably, I was
sober. Yes, once again, it was MY turn to drive the van......

It's safe to assume it was performed 7 times.
The first (Birmingham Tin Can 7.4.84), the 3 recordings that exist from the American tour, and so presumably it was played at the other 3 American dates that don't (as yet) seem to exist on tape.

Blimey, I've not been on here for ages.


I have 2 tapes with it on (remember those days when you used to send off for demo tapes & stuff?) - one says New York Danceteria 14.4.84 and also says it's a bootleg single, and the other is Lyceum London 24.3.85.

I'm not blonde anymore :wink: This is the first time I've played it in yonks.

But I do stand corrected. I've just listened and compared and both start with "Ok sweets, this is it".
