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.

Jon Eden - Top Of The Pops (1980)



b/w Concrete Dreams


Nice New Wave / Ska released On Imperial Records [IMP 1] Produced by Chuck Mace & with help from Duncan Bridgeman, Bob Kraushaar, Phil Smith & Mark King.

It was then re-worked & re-released a few months later [August 1980] as Working On The Land / Concrete Dreams [MCA 627] this time with the production duties from Nick Launay.

I'm not sure who Jon Eden was but he could of been the Actor [wearing the 2 cowboys T-shirt] who played in the 1980 Film Short "Knights Electric" - not the best plot-line but worth 25 mins of your time

Jon Eden
Useless Info - Charles Mace (voc,bass), Duncan Bridgeman  (keys) along with Richard Johnson (guitar) and Howard Tibble (drums) were the band Public Skool who had a hit around the same time [July 1980] with a cover of the Equals tune - Baby Come Back  


If anyone can add any info please leave a comment

  1. Worth a listen I guess but not really to my taste. Prefer the B-side. I'm more impressed he was a team captain on Cheggars Plays Pop than being in that short film. A Jon Eden co-hosted some late night Disco show on the BBC with Linda Lewis in 1978, that might be him too.

    It looks like Robin Scott was involved with the MCA deal, 'Pop Muzik Ltd' and 'A Midascare Production' on the labels.
