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.

Carl Green And The Scene - Record Not Found EP (1978)


A1 - Click Click Camera
A2 - Rodeo Do-Do
B1 - Fantasy Girls Ain't Real
B2 - There's A Lot Of Sophistication Here Tonight

Great new wave / powerpop EP that owes more than a small debt to the 60's from this Stockton/Teesside 4 piece.

Carl Green (voc) ex Night Class
Andy Davis (guitar voc) ex Night Class
Geoff (Jeff on their later 45's) Sawdon (bass, guitar voc)
Mel Davis (drums voc)

For a full discography pop over to Worthless Trash (the 2nd 45 "All The Tea In China" has a weird thing that both sides appear to have different recording labels A on Bentonfun & B on Ginnis bucka. - I don't actually own this so if any kind person out there would like to send scans/mp3's I'd be grateful)

Their next/final 3 releases were on RCA as a result of winning the "Battle of the Bands" - unfortunately record sales don't seem to have been that great so sometime in early '82 the band changed their name to "Rules Of Croquet".
Then (1986/87) Carl Green along with Andy Davis & wife became "Whirlpool Guest House" (other guises after this were "Shandy Wildtyme" /The Close Ups & Head of Light Entertainment.

Here's Carl Green doing what he does so well now
