The Apartments - Live on the Outside (1990-91)


A rare treat I've been meaning to post, an Apartments bootleg.
As far as I know the only actual, bootleg of its type,
but I would be very happy to hear about others.
This CD contains tracks recorded live some 17 years ago in Sydney.
Tracks 1 - 11 are with a band playing at Harold Park Hotel on the
25/01/90 and
Tracks 12 - 16 are Peter Milton Walsh with Amanda Brown
(Ex-Go-Betweens) on the 22/02/91 at an unknown venue.
I saw Peter and Amanda play at a Spring Livid around this
time in Brisbane, with a lineup including Grant McLennan,
Steve Kilbey and Ed Kuepper, it was a show I won't forget.
Seeing Peter play then was the closest I thought I would
ever get to seeing the Apartments play.
I don't know if Peter and Amanda ever played any other gigs,
but it was wonderful and now you can hear what I'm talking about.
The band, by the way(I have on good authority),
includes Ed Kuepper on guitar.
If anyone has any extra information on this Cd
or Peter/Amanda performances let us know in the comments.

Theres some great information concerning the band and
Peter/Amanda performances in the comments thanks to Steve.

    This is the only show this lineup played and the only show (in Australia) Peter did to promote the Drift album.

    The band was Ed Kuepper - guitar, Mark Dawson - drums and Mikey Couvret - bass. All were in Ed's The Yard Goes On Forever.

    Peter and Amanda played around Sydney for a little while in 1991, often with a solo Dave Mason from the Reels. They were great and so was Dave Mason.

    I was at the Harold Park show, glad somebody taped it. Is it around in lossless audio?

    Saw the Peter and Amanda at, I think The Argyle Tavern at The Rocks, The Metropole(?) in North Sydney and they were part of the acoustic night at the Paddington RSL where I suspect this recording is from.

    I have a CD of two live gigs from London 1986. Audience but not bad.

    Steve if you could share those gigs from London I would be in eternal debt to you, mp3 is fine unless you want to keep it lossless.
    I downloaded this as is so I don't have the original, only mp3,sorry

    Wow! Do you know what label will be releasing them? Bonus tracks as well? Thanks for all your great stuff! I've been a Aussie(?)fan for awhile. I'm a few years older than you, an English teacher in the US. Love Gobs(only saw Grant & Robert on a solo gig a few years back), Flying Nun stuff(Chills esp.), The Church,& Apartments(I first heard on Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack)Love the jangly guitars & harmonies...
