Anyway, after posting, I got material from a couple of people, notably Dave Sez but also HowlinWolf0864 flooded me with killer stuff from the band the very next day......I wrote them up as such, and these links should all be just fine as well here too:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our first contributor, who wishes to remain anonymous, contributes a pair of links for us, "Live in Berlin":
http://433rpm.blogspot.com/2010/07/au-pairs-live-tape-fight-back.html
As well as the Au Pairs final show from 1983, with (evidently, I haven't had the chance to listen yet) includes some demos, live stuff, lots of stuff which sounds GREAT to me.....check it HERE:
He also shares with us what he refers to as "very rare Dutch 1984 12" EP from Dojoji, produced after Leslie Woods had left the Au Pairs, breaking up the group. With Dutch funk musicians Dojoji, she does vocals - very good, including a version of one of the 1983 demos."
Sounds pretty awesome to me, don't know about you, but here it fucking be:

Now, another of "my" minions, Howlinwolf0864 ALSO has some Au Pairs stuff and has generously agreed to share it with the rest of us....he offers up what is evidently a DIFFERENT Berlin show than the one above, as well as an awesome sounding BBC sessions set (really,, I can't WAIT to hear all this shit, you guys are amazing and this is EXACTLY the way I wish for this lame-ass blog to work)....I am uploading his shares to Zippy as we speak and they will be available soon, check the comments section. Here is the track list for the BBC Sessions:
