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 Frames - CIA ep (1981)
A1 - CIA
A2 - Crowded rooms
B1 - Could be Paris

Nice ep from this South Wales (Cardiff area) band.
the band according to the sleeve were
Gary Stockford (voc)
Spiro Darmanin (guitar)
Huw Richards (bass)
Gareth Morgan (keyboards)

The only info I could find on them is here (which states the drummer was Chris Braizer (ex Nylonz & Zipper) & the guitarist was Phil Celia - oh well!!

For me, Side 1 towers over side 2 (especially the jaunty 'Crowded Rooms') but it's yet another obscurity that I'm so glad to have heard. Cheers Bruce!
ReplyDeleteHi, I was the drummer. Join in 1979 and did the artwork using Letraset before the days of desktop publishing. I still have a few copies. Glad you like it. Dylan
ReplyDeleteHi Dylan - Thanks for the confirmation.
Delete....As to the EP's Stick 'em on e-bay it'll pay for a nice holiday
If you want to know what they are doing now - check here

Though both from South Wales I don't think Picture Frame Seduction are related to this band at all. PFS did play briefly as The Frames in 1979 according to the 'Burning Britain' book.
DeleteYou're right - Looks like i've got some info mixed up
