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.

Twig And The Kicks - I Won't Apologise (1980)


b/w - The Boy Who Sold His Dreams

Double A side - but there is an A scratched in the dead wax of the I Won't Apologise side. & a B on the other.

Cool D.I.Y Mod / New wave tunes (with a hint of white reggae on the "Apologise" track) from this London based band.

I've put this down as 1980 but I'm not really sure, it could be a little later.

The only band member I know of, is the Singer / guitarist Nicky Ager, who was later in a band called "The Whole Wide World" who morphed into "Company Of Cowards" (also including Ian Montague ex guitarist of Thin Yogurts) I believe Nicky is now living in Coventry with his director/writer wife Debbie Issitt.

  3. It's OK Bruce, if you used to collect mid-70s prog until recently that's nothing to be ashamed of!

  7. Copies were available via Danny Smith, Mayesbrooke Road, Dagenham, Essex in December 1980. A band member/manager perhaps? 'The Boy Who Sold His Dreams' noted as the A-side. Having re-listened to this, I kinda like it.
