Motels - 1980 Bradford University

I remember visiting Berlin in 1980 (enclosed by a wall then) with my actual girlfriend Dorothe. Standing at the train station, expecting a long-haired redhead hippie-friend but being welcomed by a short blue haired punk. At his home he played a record I instantly felt in love: the first Motels. When we left Berlin his goodbye gift was this longplayer, but he liked to keep he cover - so this is my sleeve of it

Saturday night BBC6 played a classic concert of their 1980 show at Bradford University reminding me on that visit and old friends
