I received a digital copy of "BBC College Concert #7 - Missing Persons, Six Flags Magic Mountain Sept. 10, 1982", a recording of a radio show that eventually got released on CD and LP in 2024 as "Live In Santa Clarita - October 10, 1982". I assume that the CD / LP version does not have the radio announcer's comments...

'80s New Wave Icons MISSING PERSONS Featuring Vocalist DALE BOZZIO Announce New Studio Album And First Single!
Los Angeles, CA - New wave icons, and one of the most influential electronic musical acts of all-time, Missing Persons featuring original vocalist Dale Bozzio, are readying a new studio album. Bozzio's inimitable vocal style, as heard on such classics as “Words,” “Destination Unknown,” and “Walking In L.A.,” is the heart and soul of Dreaming, the astonishing new studio album of cover songs and original tunes. Produced by the multi-talented Adam Hamilton (David Hasselhoff / William Shatner), Dreaming offers lush keyboards and atmospheric interpretations of some classic rock/pop songs by fellow '80s legends The Cars, Joy Division, and The The as well as The Rolling Stones, The Mama's & The Papas, and more - all brought to life by Bozzio's unmistakable voice. The album also offers 3 original compositions - the dark and moody “Lipstick,” the haunting title track “Dreaming” and the compelling “This Time” - that demonstrate Missing Persons' relevance to the modern electronic scene.
Listen to the first single, a wildly imaginative and infectious cover of Strawberry Alarm Clock's '60s classic “Incense And Peppermints”:
Bozzio offers these thoughts on the making of the album saying “This was such an easy, breezy album to make, even though it’s been a long time coming. I think fans will really appreciate the sultriness of this direction of the music and the honesty of the vocals.”
Dreaming will be available on both CD and in a limited-edition PINK vinyl as well as on all digital platforms beginning March 20.
And watch for Bozzio’s exciting, tell-all autobiography “Life Is So Strange” coming later this year!

Missing
Persons Featuring Dale Bozzio Return To The Stage
For Two
Exclusive SoCal Engagements!
Los
Angeles, CA - After a long absence from the music scene, Missing Persons
featuring original vocalist Dale Bozzio will return to the Southern California
stage for two special concerts at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach on January 10
and at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on January 19. Such memorable
hits as "Words," "Destination Unknown," and "Walking
In L.A." made Missing Persons a household name in the '80s and a staple of
early MTV thanks in part to the cutting edge fashion statements of Bozzio. With
her unforgettable pink streaked hair, fishbowl bra and bubblewrap jacket,
Bozzio would become an iconic figure of rock fashion, the original glam diva,
inspiring the likes of Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Lady GaGa, and others! Her vocal
style too became a unique signifier of the band's music, and her voice remains
as strong today as it was then!
These
two exclusive performances are an exciting prelude to the release of the first
studio album of new material to bear the Missing Persons name in over 25 years!
The album, titled appropriately enough Missing In Action, was produced by Billy
Sherwood and will be released on Cleopatra Records, March 4. Sherwood, whose
recent work on the solo album of Star Trek actor William Shatner thrust
Sherwood into the national spotlight, composed the album alongside Bozzio and
brought a modern twist to the classic Missing Persons's sound for what is sure
to be one of the most talked about comeback records of the year. A record
release party is planned and a nationwide tour will launch later in March!
