Going back to Under Mi Sleng Teng, it was also played during the legendary show that featured The Fall live at Clitheroe Castle, June 1985. The records played in that show (by someone else back at Radio Lancs, following Steve’s detailed notes) were a mixed bag, prob to represent the range played.

The last entry on the running order for the 10th Mar show vaguely hints at “Wayne Smith/Jammy/Hi-Times - Under Me Sleng Teng (dubs!)”

First appearance of Wayne Smith Under Mi Sleng Teng was on OTW 10th Feb 85. No label stated, probably Greensleeves.
Smith’s previous, Come Along, was played several times from the previous November.
