LDB Vintage Series #090

Hi there! After closing both my Master and Special series I took a break from seeding, enjoying life and most of all
preparing for a new series! This is not going to be as frequent as my previous ones, I'll be seeding shows from time
to time so don't expect massive volumes here.

Why a "vintage" series? Because music in the 70's and 80's was really something...so different, so special with "that" kind
of sound which you don't find anymore. That was the era of real music without the internet, of long tours and enjoyable live
shows spanning from metal to new wave, progressive, jazz, fusion, pop. So many bands were born and disappeared during those
two decades.

I am then celebrating the 70's and the 80's and their unmistakeable sound in this LDB Vintage Series. You will find many bands
I have never seeded in the past but that I still enjoy listening to. Most of these come from low generation tapes that were traded
around that period, many radio broadcasts and overall lots of surprises.

It's been a while since I last posted something for my vintage series. I found out that in my archives there are quite a few Alarm shows and since it will soon be the first anniversary of Mike Peters passing, I thought I would have a go with some vintage Alarm. 

At one point in the 80's, the band had the potential to become as big as U2 or Simple Minds but because Peters left the band in 1991, it would never become a fact. But I still enjoy their music although it sounds a bit "dated", very much 80's sound.

Quality is ok, well listenable. You will enjoy it if you like The Alarm
