The Smiths "Acid Head" Red vinyl live 7" - Rare

 

Limited to just 300 copies, this rare E.P contains a previously unreleased radio session of The Smiths from the band's 

final studio session for the John Peel Radio Show, recorded in December 1986 in London. The record also contains two previously unreleased tracks from the concert at the National Ballroom Kilburn, London, England, on October 23rd, 1986. Both tracks were later posthumously released on the superb live album Rank September 5th, 1988.
