The Style Council

40 YEARS AGO. HOME & ABROAD entered the UK chart on 17th May 1986 at No. 8 which was an excellent placing for a live album. It was backed by a video/laserdisc release of SHOWBIZ! live from Wembley (Dec 1985). #thestylecouncil

@MrStardust50 Yes please. Would be great to see them.

For anyone buying the CAFE BLEU DELUXE vinyl this week the BBC Chippenham gig is not included. This red vinyl release is available from Coda #thestylecouncil Chippenham IS on the CD Deluxe.

@barkway_ken Not many CD sets did, likely due to the higher price, the vinyl is a lot wider spread. Vinyl 2 had an issue but wasnt impacted by the wrong Long Hot Summer version

@MRCOOLSDREAM I didn’t realise any got out in the original state

Once the Cafe Bleu Deluxe repress CD & Vinyl appear this week the "mispress" will become a blur as time passes. So if you are ever offered the highly inflated mispresses (CD 2 & 3 and LP 2) and cannot listen (ie auction site) then how will you know? We'll let you know

Cafe Bleu CD Deluxe. If you are ever offered the highly inflated mispress (CD 2 & 3) and cannot listen (ie auction site) here's how to tell it apart from the repress. #thestylecouncil
