From July '77 - would any Liverpudlians here be able to guess which publication it is from? That is , I presume it is a from a Liverpool one. Elvis's gig, by the way , got rescheduled to August 2nd.

Hi John
Only ill-educated guesses from me. Back in those days the Liverpool Echo was a proper newspaper and used to feature ads like this one in the classifieds on a Friday night. The NME similarly had ads for gigs. But my money would be on the Echo.
I didn't manage to see him live at Erics until the next year on 25th March 1978.
Good luck in your quest for the truth!

What does seem bizarre is that there are so few bootlegs from around this time from the Liverpool and manchester shows in the late 70s and early 80s. By 1982 both cities were being well covered but those early days have very few recordings available- I wonder if it's the same for all early punk/new wave shows at that time ?
Between us, Colin TB and I have scoured all sorts of sources but failed to produce anything new - so far !

It's probably an NME advert. Somebody's flogging the same one here:

Funnily enough in the mid 80s when I was an EC novice I used to buy a load of live shows from a trader in Manchester who's name was Jake . I used to make postal orders ( remember them ) for extortionate amounts such as £8 and wait for a parcel of cassettes to be delivered with the latest from the most recent tours - probably most active in 1983 and 1984 !
