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.

Approved men - Quite like you (1980)


b/w
1. - So sad
2. - somewhere to run

Great 3 track mod/powerpop ep

There are between 100 & 500 copies of this little rarity floating around (Colin Short sent a note to John Peel saying 500 but later said 100 so believe what you will)

The band were from the Guilford area (Shalford)
& all I can tell you is that
Colin Short (bass) seemed to do all their promotional work & another of the band was
Julian Robinson
+ my copy says it was produced by Nod Harris




This has come up for sale on e-bay a few times with the handwritten labels all looking different - Here's my favourite (which misspells Short as Shaw)

    I like this! Was digging around for info on the record for the discography but all I could find out was that Peel played it in Feb 1980. No label obviously, but is that JR-001 on the run-out groove?

      Hi Ross, glad to hear from you! You should be proud this is a great 45 + pretty collectable. Can you add some more info. Band members etc.

    Peel played twice. Colin wrote A side and Dooley the two B sides. Gigged around Guildford, Woking area. Had meeting with John Weller (Paul's dad) about him taking us on but didn't happen.
