Bootlegs:

The Nips - Live At The 101 Club
Clapham, London; October 14, 1979 (probable)

42 minutes.

Vengeance / Gabrielle / King Of The Bop / Ghostown / Venus In Bother Boots / Private Eye / Happy Song / Fuss 'N' Bother / Stupid Cow / Infatuation / Maida Aida / Love To Make You Cry / I Don't Want Nobody To Love / Gabrielle

Notes: This is the only real Nips bootleg I know about. It is sometimes labeled as 1978 or 1980, but was probably recorded in 1979, because Shane mentions their new single, "Gabrielle". It is also sometimes labeled "100 Club" instead of "101 Club". One person has verified that the Nips did play at the 101 Club on Oct. 14, so this seems like a likely date. It circulates on cassette tape and CD-R, and these are the only formats it exists in. Some people claim there is a bootleg LP, but this is almost certainly not true. The sound quality is not perfect, but it is possible to find copies with relatively little tape hiss. The show is similar to "Only The End Of The Beginning", but they do play "Private Eye", which we don't get to hear live otherwise! There are no "official" cover graphics, just ones designed by fans. Download a CD Cover in PowerPoint format, or make your own, and feel free to submit it!


The Nips - German TV, March 1980
1 minute.

Infatuation
Notes: This small video clip aired on German TV just as the Nips broke up. It does not include the entire song. It circulates on VHS tape and the audio portion also circulates on cassette tape and CD-R. The video and .mp3 can be downloaded in the Multimedia section. As far as I know, this is the only surviving Nips video footage! The clip is also included in the "If I Should Fall From Grace" documentary on Shane.


Polish Postcard Singles:

Happy Song
Stavordale RD, N5
All The Time In The World
Notes: Polish Postcard singles are bootleg flexi discs with one song on them. They look like postcards and can play in normal record players. I know of at least 3 Polish Postcard singles made from Nips songs, listed above. There are probably more. There might even be a Polish Postcard for each studio Nips song. If you have photos or information on any, please send it to me! I would love to include scans of all the Nips Polish Postcards on this site!
