Any radio time for "Guns for the Afghan Rebels" in Britain nowadays?

Robert - Stockholm

I remember buying the album with this song, same title, but it was the A-side on both sides.

Good cover and yep after Everton's poor show against the Gooners I bet he can't wait to leave.

I can't remember anyone but John Peel playing Afgan Rebels at the time Robert. As for now.......na :-)


Everton should just let him rot in the reserves Marky (at Man City lol)

A great post as I was only thinking the Blog was lacking a few Upstarts classics (they happen to be my fave band from the '78-to Reason Why era...the B-side is a cracking tune, the Upstarts had a knack of providing some great B-siders in their time.
Nice one Longy!

Well said Gazz. They were a great band indeed. I was amazed how good Son Of Spartacus was when I heard it too a couple of years back.

Hi Longy
Woops... I got late for this one (tehre's just too much to find in this blog!). The link seems to be dead. I have a CD reissue of the album but (unlike the Captain Oi reissues) didn't have bonus tracks so no "Unsung heroes"... Could you please reupload it?
BTW thanks for the other two Upstarts EPs!
Saludos,

Fernando :)

Thanks a lot Longy! I'm amazed how fast you replied. Not surprised though (that's precisely the reason why I just came back to check the post, thinking of you as the Lucky Luke of the bloggers around :D). Now a "virtual" dedication to you - Kings of Speed by Hawkwind b/w Motorhead!
Thanks again,
Fernando :)

I've never been called a Lucky Luke before.....just a lucky Longy :-) Thanks for the virtual dedication. I love a bit of Hawkwind!
