This was from a Showtime program called " Rock of the 80's". I think it first aired early in '84! A great show back in the day, I would love to see more of them!
Batcave reunion gig was incredible. Whitby gig was incredible. What do we have to do to get Specimen to keep on gigging? I've seen some amazing bands play awesome gigs in the last 24 months, but the band I wanna see right now, the one I'd drop everything to see the next day's night, is Specimen. I may be a sad old goth, but they are just going from strength to strength right now.
@JustAnotherPunk youre not the only one! this music was very much alive and nothing really comes close! this is coming from an old school goth, still love and listen to all of this!!!
They always used to open with 'Stand Up Stand Out' it was a bit of an anthem.
However, When the glammy gothy gang first heard the first ever vinyle press of 'Returning' in Olli's flat in Soho we could hardly speak the wonderousness overwhelmed us so much.

It was fabulous back in the day - I can hardly contain myself for the next 19 days! It's going to be brilliant going back in time.
Also The Fiends are playing too - lush! x
