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.

    You can spot the Roy Wood touch on Stupid Guy, which I always thought should have been re written as a Christmas song! A great missed seasonal hit.
