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 - Helen

The Band were from Ashford, Kent

Gary Harrington (Voc, Rhythm Guitar)
Pat Lukehurst (lead Guitar) R.I.P.
Jim Harrington (Bass)
Steve Nicholls (Drums) - left before the 45 was recorded

On the Run is a nice slab of Powerpop/Pop Rock & Helen is an instrumental that could have been written by The Allman Brothers or some other 70's Country Rock Band.

Released On local (Kent) label Dude (Don't bother seeking out others on this label as they all seem to be C&W themed)

Thanks to Di & Steve for the updated info

As always if anyone else can add something please leave a comment.

  1. Hi music lovers, I've just come across this post about Tezer and feel the need to put something about it right ( even though it's not really that important!) All those years ago in 1980 I was the Bassist in the band with Jezz Olding on Drums. We recorded the tracks 'On The Run' and 'Helen' at a house on Faversham Road, Kennington, not too far from where Pat lived. I seem to remember the owner of the studio being called John Edmed. We played many gigs around the Medway towns in particular, playing a mixture of 'Rock'n' Roll' and 'Pop' from the 50s 60s and 70s. Mainly playing at workingmens clubs. It was my apprenticeship to going onto a long career in music.

  3. It's my pleasure. How did you even come across this record? If my memory serves me well, we self financed the recording and had 500 records pressed. We would sell them at gigs.
