Dave Warner - Halftime at the Football


Many thanks to John who has given us this wonderful
and rare little Gem. From 1981 released as a 12 " single
this is pure Dave Warner. Half time at the football is
a very funny track. At 6 minutes long its not quite the
classic Mugs Game is, but similar in theme.
Dave's familiar themes of suburban alienation, of girls,
sex and football. Also released on "Meanwhile in the Suburbs"
A mini album released in 1987.

    I have this on cassette but the original version of Half time at the football was on a 12' ep and was an excerpt from "the Victoria Tapes" recorded at Perth's Victoria Hotel in June 1977.
    So have a listen.

    Christ, I haven't heard this since RRR played it during their Grand Final broadcast some time in the 80s.

    I looked for it for ages. My brother had the "Free Kicks" LP, but it wasn't on there, alas.

    Brilliant blog.
