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 Beans - No Boys For You (1980)

b/w
B1 - Pressure
B2 - Ravel it up

Great bit of mod/ska from this (Leeds Based) Yorkshire band.

Rob Standeven (Voc Guitar)
Mark Challinor (Bass)
Paul Granger (Drums)

with the aid of  Tony Rex on guitar for the recording of the 45 (around 750 pressed)

The record was recorded at the RAM studios, Leeds (Of which according to the Woolcity Rocker #7 Paul was an engineer

They also contributed two tracks to the Leeds Compilation "The Art Of Solving Problems"

This record also comes in a "green on white" sleeve & according to Rob there may have been other variations

Useless info:  Standeven (apparently a name that originates from the Norman conquest, mainly found in the Gloucestershire area - amazing what you can find out nowadays)

Thanks To Rob & his wife Kristina for the extra info
