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.

Cuba were

Josie Kennington (voc)
Basil Snaith (guitar voc)
Bob Marsden (bass voc)
Phil Parkin (drums)
Dave Parkinson (keyboard)

If you want to know more about cuba & the proposed 2nd 45 (Wireless World / Frankie - recorded for Ariola, but was it ever released) see Wool City Rocker #8

  2. Hi, just found your site and this link after plugging in Cuba for nostalgic reasons. Very sad to learn that David had passed away, I used to work with his (then) girlfriend around the time that he got his record deal and then released this fabulous - and sadly one off - single. It was all very exciting and a great record. Many thanks for sharing, replaces my scratchy old vinyl!
