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.

If you're interested in the 80's Psychedelic revival, pop over to you tube & watch the documentary groovy movie
As a (sort of) incentive there is footage of The Regal in Kensington Market which was one of the 3 places where this 45 was available to purchase.(not so) co-incidentally one of the others (Sweet Charity, Kensington Market again) was owned by Anne-Marie Khachik.

  2. Great song, both versions. At some point I'll pick up copies of both when the price/condition is right. The last time I was tempted there was no flyer with 'Baby Dancing' so passed on it. I maybe slightly prefer the WEA 45 but 'Baby Dancing' is a better song title.

    My friend from school had that comp LP back in the day so heard it quite a few times that winter at his house alongside my mix tapes of UK Decay, Bauhaus etc. The High Tide were a stand out alongside The Times and The Barracudas. In fact I should look out for that LP too.
