Just another site that's giving you hard to find music

A Place To Find Some Rarer Tunes (Mod, PowerPop, Punk, Ska) ripped from my vinyl collection. If it sounds good I'll post it. The idea being that now you know about them, you can seek them out! If anyone is unhappy about any of these posts please contact me & I will take them off.

the Rookies - Snapshot (1981)


b/w - What the papers say

The lone release by the Rookies on the applause label credited to Gary Tillyer

What can I say! - here's another that I know nothing about.

The B-side is the better track (bit of a Joe Jackson feel to it)
