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 Innocents - One Way Love (1980)


b/w - Every Wednesday Night At Eight

(Innocents is day-glo orange on the sleeve)

Great lone powerpop 45 from this London based band.

Josephine Buchan (voc)
Jimi Barber (guitar)
Rolo McGinty (bass)
Paul Bultitude (drums)

Before the Innocents, Paul Bultitude was part of Advertising (who co-incidentally supported Blondie on part of their 1978 UK tour - maybe that's why this sounds like a lost Blondie /de Cylinders / Shivvers track)
Then mid '79 in an unreleased (but apparently recorded) band Tot & the Girls in Room 419. [Tot Taylor (voc keyboard), Jimi Barber (guitar), Gus Goad (bass)]
After the Innocents, he replaced Seb Shelton in Secret Affair & was Gary Wilson in Mari Wilson's Band.
He's also linked to the Jetset / Paul Collins Beat / the Shambles & a multitude of other Mod/pop bands
