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.

The Kustom - Let The Girl Dance (1981)
b/w - Arrested
Let The Girl Dance is a likable (if not a little twee) stab at Jazz/swing but it's Arrested that you should "lend an ear to" (Powerpop/pop rock which will also appeal to the Mod Revival fans as it incorporates a few horns as well)
I'm pretty sure the band were London based, with the songs being penned by members R Helman & K Yallop
They had a big hitter behind them as the executive producer was Douglas Kean which is why (I'm guessing here) it was released twice (the Silhouette pressing in Jan '82 & then on the Red Bus (RBUS71) imprint in July '82 - Let The Girl Dance also made it on to a Red Bus compilation LP [Hearts & Stars])
As always if anyone can add to the (scarce) info please leasve a comment
