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.

Dandy - Love Potion No 9 (1979)


b/w - Anyway You Want It 

 OK, I'll be honest I bought this on account of it being a cover version (God knows how many covers of the Leiber Stroller hit there are!!). I'll admit to being mildly disappointed but when I flipped it over all my woes went away as Anyway You Want It is a great teenybopper / powerpopper. 

The band were  

Phil Hammond (voc) - yellow shirt 
Jeremy Pictor-Wayne (guitar) - white shirt 
Alf Greenfield (bass) - red shirt 
Nick Potts (drums) - green shirt  

After 2 45's for RCA (their earlier 45 was Disco Dancer/Wam Bam Shang-A-Lang 1978) vocalist Kevin Harris ( ex Stevenson's Rocket ) was drafted in & the band changed their name to The Spitfires. (who released another cool powerpop 45 on RCA Friday On My Mind / Can't Get You Off My Mind)  

production for all their 45's was by Bill Kimber (who also worked on all the Monos! 45's)

    'Alf' was Alf Greenfield, 'Potts' would've been Nick Potts, and 'Hammond' would've been Phil Hammond. But that's all I know!

    Still more than me, thanks for linking the names - one step closer to finding out the drummer's name!
