It certainly was some introduction! I’d love to have the Hammersmith Palais gig on video, or even audio if either exist? I’ve no idea where my t-shirt from the tour went, I still have the programme to accompany my memory. I actually still wear my Battle Ye Not With Monsters belt to this very day, I’ve had to make an additional hole though!

How strange, I saw the Bunnymen on their Ocean Rain tour, at Brighton Centre in September ‘84. It was packed and very lively too.

Next you’ll be saying you saw the Icicle Works? I saw them in July ‘86, at the Town & Country Club. I loved most of the late 70s/early 80s Liverpool bands :)

Oh, for a Tardis...

You might be in luck as several recordings from the 1984 tour exist, although they are ropey in quality and that's saying something. The one's I know of are:

1984-March-18 Lancaster Sugarhouse
1984-March-19 Edinburgh Coasters
1984-March-20 Newcastle City Hall
1984-March-22 Manchester Hacienda
1984-March-23 Liverpool Royal Court
1984-March-24 Birmingham Odeon
1984-March-25 Hammersmith Palais

I also still have the WSYM tour programme and it's in not too bad condition.

No. I never saw The Icicle Works live, but did see P.I.L around that time at Poole Arts Centre.
