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.

Bandzai! - Zig-Zag (1983)



b/w Solid Security (Gun For Hire)


Nice Mod Powerpop with a ska backbeat from this 5 peice London based band - For some reason Zig-Zag Reminds me of Graduate (Elvis plays Ska)



 
I have 4 nanes from the song writing credits

Nick Cola - (Keyboards)
Camaro
Corvette
Al Price - (Songwriter not Musician)

    Possibly Tigers related, Nick Cola/Alan Price?

    'Zig_Zag' seems to have been available from December 1982 despite the 1983 on the labels from the sources I checked. I have 05/03/82 for the first 45 (self distributed) then more widely available 16/04/82 (via Fresh/Rough Trade).

    I think you may be right.

    I think I should also point out that, if you put the Band Promo photo above next to the German Wise-Guise sleeve (in the next posts d/l) - It looks like it could be the same boys.
