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 Diplomats - Memories Of You (1982)


b/w - I'll keep on holding on

Another request & it's quite a good one for this Yorkshire Mod band's only 45 release.
My only complaint is there's a bit too much synth!

Still, a great cover of I'll keep on holding on

The band were
Andy Welsh (voc guitar)
Jon Driver (bass keyboards)
Roger Goodgroves (keyboards)
Ian Wilkinson (drums)

Sounds & scans below

    I think You're right, in that they probably were listening to the Action's version of this song but Hunter/Stevenson originally wrote it for the Marvelettes or the Temptations or one of those tamla motown bands

    Hi, good to see this after so many years. I can say it wasn't the Action's version we were listening to.

    as to the synth; you are right, we were listening to lots of stuff like soft cell at the time.

    Hi Roger - thanks for the comment. Do you still "tinkle the ivories" or is it all work behind the camera?

    No I'm afraid not (well other than privately), nowadays I get my musical fix from photography or journalism. (www.goodgroves.co.uk)

    Hi, do you happen to still have a copy of this? The Mediafire link no longer seems to work.
