Listen
Am hoping to get permission to put some other recordings up here, but for now, here’s a few live SARDINE v tracks for your listening pleasure.
SARDINE v – New York City – Recorded at Strata Inn, 10 September, 1982
I’m in love with New York City / She’s so tall and she’s so pretty, yeah.
We’re in love with New York City / We’ve never been there isn’t it a pity, yeah.

SARDINE v – Ding Dong Dell – Recorded at Governor’s Pleasure, 10th December 1982
I’m so tired of going to work, wake up in the morning and oh it hurts,
My boss has been giving me trouble, when he says do it, it’s do it on the double!

SARDINE v – Cowboy Song – Recorded at Governor’s Pleasure, 10 December 1982
Went down to see you / at the local saloon,
The place was crowded / there wasn’t much room
Then I saw your face / nothing out of place.

SARDINE v – I Hate You – Recorded at Departure Lounge, 13th December, 1982
The sound’s not great on this one, but it’s got the raw energy of the live performances, which didn’t seem to come across in SARDINE’s studio recordings.

Great to see what you have done with the site, Megan. I was a great fan of Sardine V, probably Ian’s most underrated and neglected band! I keep hoping that some live material will be released one of these days, especially given that people are still finding & releasing material by X. Keep up the great work.
Glad you’re enjoying it bikeboy! I do have some more live Sardine V material, and I’d like to put some more up here when I get time to do some more work on the site – so check back regularly.
Getting stuff released is out of my hands unfortunately, but I would love to see it happen too.
