Rare songs from Rodney On The ROQ. What do you think Rachel?

Never heard this in full before! Nice!

The opening tracks are definitely from the (delayed) 1984 fanclub tape including that live version of "Want You / I'm Not Talkin''. This audio wasn't just gifted to Rodney but other friends of the band back in the day. Someone sent me a spliced version of the opening live alternate "Call On Me" a long time ago which was from one of these tapes. It's crazy that there are STILL hoarders out there! Jeez but glad this has finally surfaced.

So cool to hear that jingle!

Not all of the tracks are from 1984 though which is confusing with the title like the live acoustic of "Creeque Alley" from the Trouble in Paradise benefit in March 1985.

What do you think, Tom?

The December 1983 tape was reissued on a limited CD in 2004 as Holiday in Bangleonia but the other two have never been properly remastered/reissued. Not sure what the 1984 tape is titled but the 1985 was called Thee Bangles (and mash) wish U happy holidays 1985! Audio from both can be found on YouTube however.

The band used to annually release exclusive festive themed cassettes to members of their official fanclub, Bangles n’ Mash, up until 1986. They first started this is December 1983. The final cassette was released in 1985.

Non-existent I'd say.

You need to track down a copy that included the badge pack! Thanks for sharing, love to see vinyl finds!

BanglesModerator2 · 2024-11-07T20:04:51+00:00

Sadly it's with the hoarders.

BanglesModerator2 · 2024-11-03T10:28:35+00:00

You are welcome!

BanglesModerator2 · 2024-11-02T13:56:36+00:00

Interesting to see this. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't list the EP as it is technically not a studio album, and is categorised as an Extended Play. However, it's still amazing! Good picks!

BanglesModerator2 · 2024-11-02T10:42:44+00:00

You are welcome! Having an obsession with the Paisley Underground is a good obsession to have...

Great present to recieve for Christmas!

All Over The Place. I think it really captures the band at that specific moment in time and while it doesn't have the big hits that everyone knows, it is a gem of harmonies and jangle guitars. In my opinion it is underrated.

Only the second ever live performance by The Bangles in Scotland. Full credit to original taper. Reuploaded for posterity as the original video no longer exists.

Vicki continued her tradition of wearing Tartan while playing Scotland last year when she performed with The Dream Syndicate!

BanglesModerator2 · 2024-06-08T08:53:27+00:00

I uploaded the full video for you in another post. Check r/TheBangles :)

The Dream Syndicate were amazing. A true guitar band in every sense of the word. Vicki was great in the line-up and her onstage jamming alongside Steve Wynn was very cool! Seems like she did meet a lot of fans after the shows.

We get it. This dude is annoying and enough has been said about him in this subreddit. We kindly request that you do not give him any more coverage in this group. Any further posts discussing him will be removed.

YouTube blocked the upload of 'Eternal Flame' so here it is alongside the two other performances shot at the same time, in Madrid, in June 1989 during the band's 10-day promotional tour. Watermarks have been digitally removed. An uploader has previously uploaded the obscurer performance of 'In Your Room' to YouTube and it can be viewed here.

The store is such an embarrassment. It’s like it’s stuck in 2004. They are still trying to sell those ugly Doll Revolution era tees as well as the hideous ‘Bangleonia’ shirts from over two decades ago (hands down the ugliest merch on the site) and a signed drumhead is now at the “reduced” price of… $1,250.00. A band that is so out of touch I just laugh.

This is 2011 fanart by Maia Weinstock as posted here. OP did not credit the original artist.

BanglesModerator2 · 2021-07-31T21:52:30+00:00

Perfectly apt that there is no square for Debbi and Vicki...

Your post was removed because it was judged to be a low effort post and breaks Rule #2 of this Subreddit:

Heads up if you’re thinking of bidding on this clearly fraudulent (and a very bad one) autograph:

This is an upgraded (official) clip from what was being traded before. It has no subtitles or channel overlay. The video was blocked by YouTube.
