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.

Reasonable Man - Public Army Policeman (1981)


B1 - Snakebite
B2 - Economic Sense

Nice 45 full of socially aware New wave / Ska with a bass line that screams of listening to too much Dub (this was recorded at the now defunct Starforce Studios, Clapham South London.)

The London based 4 Peice that went into the studio on 9 & 10/05/1981 were;

Tony Payne (voc, Tambourine)
Steve Pugh (guitar voc)
Kev Taylor (bass & lead Guitar)
Colin Hakin (drums, voc)

Have to admit to having a preference for Snakebite - that's the tune & not the beverage. Unfortuately, I'm afraid to admit there was many a lost teenage night on that stuff (1/2 a pint of strong cider, 1/2 pint of strong lager & a dash of blackcurrent juice, if we were feeling posh).

  1. Hey Bruce, cannot believe no ones commented on this one yet. Both tracks on the b-side are excellent, I think my favourite is Economic Sense, closely followed by Snakebite.If they were looking for success you can see why they picked the a-side - much more commercial. Great post - thanks again

  2. Gary - Good to hear from you! Thanks for leaving a comment (they're a bit thin on the ground lately - even though the stats say this post has passed 100 d/loads & 300 views) - Hope all's going well.

  3. A-side is horrible, heard it before, but I'm glad you posted this Bruce as the B-side tracks are great!
