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.

    Hi Dave,
    I had an e-mail from someone who claimed to be you (David Sinton) telling me he hated the idea of this being here for free as there were still 45's available from band members. I therefore dutifully took the link away but if you're in agreement then I will re-instate it.

    Waiting your response & if you've got any interesting memories from the time please feel free.........

    I'm Andrew Thompson (aka Dougal) the bassist on the EP, & I also would have no objection to seeing the music made available here. In fact, it would be great if people could have the chance to hear it. I just listened to The Whistle Song for the first time in decades. It still sounds great!

    BTW, it's great to see that Sinty is still alive!

    I still have this single somewhere, I was given it for free by a mate called Tim McCullough who had several copies and claimed to be friends with one of the band. I also worked were it was recorded and knew Rastus who was the engineer on the recording.
