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.

b/w Transparent Love

Cool slice of New wave for this, the bands 2nd (& final) 45. - The 1st being Traffic Jam / Frankie Boy also on Badge records (I've included a badge discography in the download for those interested)

    Thank you!. I have been looking for this and it was recently on eBay for very cheap and I forgot to bid. Can you believe that? It went for almost nothing and I have been kicking myself for being preoccupied with less-important things.

    This post inspired me to post the Fear of Flying "Balancing Act" 7" on Napomm:

    and their other one "Tired" is on T&W:

    Thane - Romance Down The Drain is a completly different band to the Fear of Flying band that did Tired. Yes Thane did change there name in 1982 to F of F, but never did a sone called Tired and they don't even sound alike.
    I was involved is both Thane and later F of F from 1979 until they split and they have been friends on mine since then.

    Thanks for the comment Jonnoa (I'm not surprised they are different bands - as you point out "a completely different sound") - any extra info (band members etc.)you can provide for the post would be greatly appreciated......
