Nessie - Can I See You Tommorrow (1981)

b/w - Tell Her

Another non starter for information I'm afraid - pretty sure they were from the North somewhere!

It often gets passed off as powerpop (which it sort of, is, I guess)
If you ask me however, I'd say its more of a decent Rock / New Wave crossover tune.

Both tracks were penned by Bar

The Dealers - Don't Touch That Dial (1981)

b/w - Tracey

Double A side from a band which I could tell you nothing about (until LDK's helpful little push in the right direction)

Both side are cool powerpop

Before shortening their name (& their line-up) to "the Dealers" the Birmingham based band were the Mean Street Dealers
They also released (in 1980) the Time Is Tight EP on Inferno records as the Ska City Rockers (If anyone wants this posted - leave a comment!!)

The band were
Mark Bristow (voc guitar)
John Wilson (guitar voc)
Nigel Darvill (keyboards)
JimSimpson (drums) later in Budgie / UFO & a Few other Metal bands

Personally, I prefer Tracey for it's no nonsense pop feel

Skeets Boliver - Both 45's (1977)

A - Streethouse Door
B - I Can't See The Light (Released Feb '77 produced by Mike Green from the pirates)

A - Moonlight In Jeopardy
B - Ain't Been Good To You (Released Oct '77)

Here's both the releases from this Scottish (Dundee) pub rock band.
The band was formed in 1973 from an amalgamation of two bands (Hens Teeth & Mort Wriggle & The Panthers) & originally included

Michael Marra (voc bass) ex Hens Teeth & Tomorrows Children
Arlene Gowans (voc) ex Hens Teeth & Tomorrows Children
Chris Marra (guitar) ex Hens Teeth
Angus Foy (acoustic guitar) ex Hens Teeth
Stuart Ivins (guitar) ex Mort Wriggle
Jonathan (Jog) Ogilvie (drums) ex Mort Wriggle

Between 1975 -76 The above guys had a Sunday night residency at Laings

But by 1977
Arlene had left
Peter McGlone (Sax) had joined &
Jog Had been replaced by:
Brian McDermott on the drum stool - If you can follow that you can work out the line -up for these 2 45's

The Band Split late '79
Michael Marra going down to London & doing some solo stuff for polydor
Stuart Ivins later performing in "Bathtime" (Male/Female Duo)
Peter McGlone joined "Mafia" & is currently in the "Souped Up Fords"
Brian McDermott playing with "Danny Wilson" & "Del Amitri" amongst others

90% of this post is pieced together from posts at the Retro Dundee blog - so to them I thank you!

The Broadside Outcasts - A.B.O. EP (1977)

A1 - Fred's Christmas
A2 - One God
B1 - Good As Gold
B2 - The Pop Starz

Not to be confused with the Broadside Outcasts from Norfolk who became Silent Noise this trio came from Hampshire (Yateley) & consisted of

Clive Burgess (guitar bass voc)
Terry Burgess (acoustic guitar voc)
Steve Cox (drums voc)
Steve had left the band but his replacement (Huw Jones) quit just after the recording studio had been booked so he stepped in to help out.

They billed themselves as Gospel-Punk Rock so you can expect some interesting DIY sounds (I have to admit to not liking this very much when I first had a track sent to me but "The Pop Starz" grew on me until I had to source a copy)

Terry Burgess (now living in Reading) records as the "Fabulous Bingo Brothers" which once was a four-piece including Clive, younger brother Pete & Dave Walker.

Star-Beats - Love, Love, Love (1982)

b/w - My Baby

I'm pretty sure you can work out the sound of this Brighton based band

(If not - why not!!)

Eamonn "Fast Eddie" Barrett (voc guitar)
Gareth Webb (guitar)
Simon Mullett (bass)
Barry Baker (drums)

Gareth Webb was replaced by Bob Machin (ex Airtight Garage) & through 1983 they recorded alot of cool stuff at the Sackville Sound Studios (loads of YouTube stuff here)

Eamonn & Bob then seem to have gathered a different bunch around them & formed "The Loving Kind"

Radio Radio - Calling EP (1983)

A - Calling
B1 - Signed With A Star
B2 - Beans

Cool mod/powerpop sounds from this London based 5 piece (apparently the members originally hail from South Wales & Essex)

The band members were.

John Short AKA John Voyce (voc)
Dave Humphreys (guitar voc) now in Honeymoon On Mars
Robbie Humphreys (rhythm guitar, keyboards)
Richie Scarr (bass) replaced by Rick Rivens
Dave (Sweat) Terell (drums)
I'm not sure where the surnames Sharp & Parry (who have songwriting credits) come into this - I am now - see the comments

It was produced by Nigel Palmer
There were also 2 other tracks (Boys In Blue & All Eyes Are Blind) released on a compilation LP The Tunnel T1 released on Tunnel records (T42) with 5 other bands
(the bands being: Street Princess / Corporal Henshaw / Major Setback Band / Silent Among Strangers / King Kong & The Empire States)

Seedy Gees - Redancer EP (1980)

A1 - Redancer
A2 - Peggy Sue
B1 - Drinking Their Lives Away
B2 - I'll Meet You At Midnight

Great 60's tinged mod / powerpop

There's very little I can tell you about the band. I believe they were from the Hull area & were at least a quartet

Members may have been

Charles Shirbon
Chris Norfolk
Dave Wilkinson
Stamp

The band also had a track (Black Cat In White) on the EMI-Joshua Tetley & Son 1980-81"Supergroup" contest LP Rock On [the 12 bands on the LP were all local heat winners for the Northern"battle of the bands"]

The Urgent Crunch Band - Listen To Silence (1981)

b/w - Trust

Cool Mod/punk 45 from this Scottish (Glasgow?) Trio.

Crigg (guitar voc piano)
Pepi (bass voc)
Brian (drums)

It was recorded at Rochdale's Cargo Studios & engineered by the legend that is Colin Richardson

I'm also guessing they were (probably still are) staunch C.N.D. supporters

Ginnette - Sea Of heartbreak (1983)

b/w - Changes

Not to sure about the A-side (It's sort of county & western mixed with an 80's ska sound)
Changes; however is a great New wave / powerpop tune - think early Go-Go's with a Knack beat

I'm also at a loss to tell you anything about Ginnette except this was her only release. (Unless of course Ginnette is Little Ginny in disguise)

The 45 was produced by Paul (P.K.) Kirkby who also had a fairly decent 45 out on the same label (Pastafont - l think the Surrey based label may have belonged to him as he seems to have produced most of them! - discography in the download if you're interested)
The sleeve was designed by Mick Sparksman
