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 A-side is great but the two other tracks dip a bit in quality.

    There's reference to a Latvian dance band here (http://spriditis-uk.blogspot.com/p/latvian-links.html) with Aris Trezins and maybe Oscar Viess (Oskar Wiess). Formed in Bradford so maybe The Fence were based there too.

    Played by Peel is mentioned on the Bored Teenagers website but I can't find a playlist. That's usually my last resort for a month/year date and any other info that Peel might reveal. Must be the first half of 1980 if their 2nd recording session was meant for 'Unzipping The Abstract'.
