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 Teezers - The Best Part Of Breaking Up (1981)
b/w - Rebel
Very nice glam / powerpop sounds covering the Ronettes / Phil Spector classic
Apparently the Teezers were a 3 piece female band who began life in 1974.
Allegedly this 45 was first issued in 1975 !!
The 45 was produced by Keith Marshall of Hello (I've read Rebel is a Hello cover, I'm not sure! but its definitely written by Marshall)
There is an Australian release on Function Recs [MS 509] (no p/s again 1981)
It's been comped twice here & here
Here's a promo photo of them (the hair says 80's to me) - most of the other releases on Arrival records are to do with Keith Marshall as well.
(I'm not really sure if I have a point here! it just seems to me that this record is not as old as some people believe it is)
- Somebody please prove me wrong!!
Want to hear a Disco version of "best part"!!! - Gotta love those cow bells.

you are totally correct - the record is not as old as it says. We did this in the very late 7oth. I know because I am the lead singer of the Trio... my hair was silver... :-)
