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.

V/A - Spectacular Commodity EP (1979)


A1 - Mod Cons - Buildings of the 70's
A2 - XS Discharge - Machete shuffle
B1 - Sneex - Radiomania
B2 - The Poems - Posters on the wall
B3 - The Mentol errors - Irrelevance

Here's a requested 45, from a bunch of Paisley (Glasgow) bands. There is probably a track here for everyone. My pick is the Mod cons track.
BTW the Poems track is edited on the record it's not me getting bored of it.

If you want to know more about this recording, the label & the bands go here

This site is pretty good as well Vicious Riff

    Rough-arsed and amateurish in places, but just what I like!

    I just got around to downloading this, your a hard guy to keep up with ! I have the Mentol Errors track on an old tape. I always wondered where it came from. Great song, yet another mistery solved. Do you know if they had anything else?? I could never find anything from them.Thanks Bruce, Great Post.

    According to 45 revs' the Mentol errors split up a couple of weeks after this was recorded but the bass player (Brendon Moon) went on to play with "Shady Deal","the Ocean","the kissing bandits" (who did a good cover of the Flamin groovies - shake some action) & "the Phantom chords".
    + the site mentioned above says Tam O'Malley now plays with Chik of XS Discharge in a Glasgow Reggae band called "Man at the window"
