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.

Stilts - Waiting For A Miracle (1981)


b/w - People And Buildings

This 45 doesn't really know what it wants to be (snyth led but with ska / powerpop overtones) anyway I sort of like it!

I couldn't find much info on the (Manchester based?) band (an internet search shows there are plenty of this record for sale)

It's on the Mansfield based Rondelet Music & Records Label.

Both sides were penned by P. Soffe & the bass player was Mike Wellman (creator of Pacru). As to the identity of other 3 - Anyone know? (See Comments!)

    Paul Soffe was the singer songwriter in the band (and keyboards prior to Mark's arrival).
    Andy Summers was the drummer.
    Ged Kelly was the guitarist.
    Mike Wellman joined the band later on in 1980 on bass and was followed by Mark Vibrans on keyboards (who worked for many years as a musical director in theatre). From left to right the cartoons are Mike, Mark, Paul, Ged, Andy. Comment from Mike Wellman
