Lords Of The New Church - Dance With Me 7'' (1983)



And I think this was their 5th single. I may have these last 2 mixed up though,not that it matters. I never liked this one although the B side was good. Thats all the Lords singles I own. If anyone has anymore and wants to upload them here then be my guest!
Tracks

1) Dance With Me
2) I'm Not Runnin' Hard Enough

Lords Of The New Church - Live For Today 7'' (1983)



I think this was their 4th single but I honestly can't remember now.
Tracks

1) Live For Today
2) Opening Nightmares

Lords Of The New Church - Russian Roulette 7'' Picture Disc (1982)



Just as well add their 3rd single while I'm at it.

Lords Of The New Church - New Church 7'' (1982)



The great Lords Of The New Church led by former Dead Boys frontman Stiv Bators R.I.P. Great guitar from ex Damned legend Brian James, cracking bass from Sham's Dave Treganna and whopping drums from Nick Turner formerly of the Barracudas. This lot when they first came out were ace. They lost their way a bit in the end and tailed off musically in my opinion. This was their first single.

Tracks

1) New Church
2) Livin' On Livin'

V.A. - Back On The Road Double LP (1988)


Something a bit different today. A classic double 32 track vinyl LP released back in 1988 featuring a whole lot of classic and not so well heard of oldies. Some would call this "Prog Rock" I suppose (don't all moan at once)

Listening to this one after so many years was suprisingly a very enjoyable experience. Ripping it wasn't not so enjoyable as it took bloody ages but at least it didn't jump. Maybe in just an old hippie at heart - I dunno. I especially enjoyed Fairport Convention, Roy Harper,Focus,Nick Drake and Jefferson Airplane. I can honestly say theres only 2 songs on here I didn't like. Not bad out of 32. Anyway,enough waffling..........

02) Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watch Tower
03) Jethro Tull - Living In The Past
04) Focus - Hocus Pocus
05) The Byrds - Eight Miles High
06) Nirvana - Rainbow Chaser
07) Nice - America
08) Nick Drake - Northern Sky


Side 2

01) Canned Heat - On The Road Again
02) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
03) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
04) Quicksilver Messenger Service - Mona
05) Tomorrow - My White Bicycle
06) Spooky Tooth - Love Really Changed Me
07) Gun - Race With The Devil
08) Soft Machine - 10.30 Returns To The Bedroom



Side 3

01) Cream - Strange Brew
02) Hawkwind - Silver Machine
03) Fairport Convention - Meet On The Ledge
04) Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire

Crisis - Holocaust/UK 12'' (1982)



Yea I know.....these tracks have already been uploaded many times or various blogs but this is a different format and I basically uploaded it in case you wanted the artwork. You see, this is a 12'' single (the record company trying to cash in) of the first two Crisis singles. Its probably alot rarer than the actual two singles themselves.

Tracks

1) Holocaust
2) PC 1984
3) No Town Hall
4) UK
5) White Youth

Radio Stars - Stop It EP (1977)

Martian Dance - The Situation 7'' (1981)



Think Adam & The Ants when they were good and you'll get an idea what the A side of this sounds like. A top tune. I tried to find a discography of these lot online but with no luck. Can anyone help? I'm not just colourblind, I'm blind as well!

Tracks

1) The Situation
2) Boys In Black

Otway & Barrett - Last Of The Mohicans (1987)

John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett - Headbutts 7'' (1981)



Famous for 1977 hit "Really Free" here is the another Otway & Barrett one that cracked me up. Whatever they were doing on the live side certainly entertained the audience. Listening to these again after all these years make me proud to be English!
Tracks

1) Headbutts
2) Headbutts (Live Version)

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Peel Session 7'' EP (1991)



Only 2,000 of these were ever made on white pukey Plasmatics style vinyl (ropey artwork included) The songs all appeared on the eariler Peel Sessions album but I thought some of you might want this one too. All 4 songs were recorded from '77 and '78.

Tracks

1) Hong Kong Garden
2) Mirage
3) Carcass
4) Love In A Void

Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Siouxsie & The Banshees File 7'' (1983)

Tracks

1) Headcut
2) Running Town

B-Bang Cider - S/T EP (1996)


Hailing from Düsseldorf, this motley bunch got together in 1995. They played at one of the earliest 'Holidays In The Sun' festivals, going down a storm too. This ep was sold at their gigs - first as a cassette and then later as this self-released cd. Some catchy songs with plenty of attitude, not quite as aggressive as their live performances but well worth a listen. They split in '98 but recently got back together. If you like this, track down their new album 'Teenage Wasteland' - and buy it!
A big thanks to my mate Graham (Punk Friction artwork specialist) for this one. Cheers mate.
Tracks
1) Do You Think
2) Freedom
3) Damned Dog
4) Monkey
5) Falling Down

Sham 69 - Action Time Vision CD single (1993)



More Sham for you. ATV was of course originally done by Mark Perry's fabulous Alternative TV so this was never going to as great as the original. Its still pretty damned good though. Bosnia is basically old Sham classic "Ulster" but revamped with new lyrics (quite appropriate for the time) Hey Little Rich Boy is another oldie but revamped and Reggae Giro is just, in my opinion,crap.

Tracks

1) Action Time Vision
2) Bosnia
3) Hey Little Rich Boy
4) Reggae Giro

The Doll - Desire Me 12'' (1978)



The very much extended version (over 6 minutes long) If you liked the 7'' then you'd be a fool not to. I've played this 4 times since I ripped it already. The 7'' can be found over at the excellent http://nothing-b-t-d.blogspot.com/ if your interested.

Tracks

The Damned - Is It A Dream 12'' (1985)



Well it was obvious I was leading up to some Damned. This version of Is It A Dream is over 8 minutes long and may please the odd Damned fan. The other side of the 12'' features 4 live tracks from London. Unfortunately,Curtain Call jumped once but whats new eh?

Tracks

1) Is It A Dream (Wild West Express Mix)
2) Street Of Dreams (Live)
3) Curtain Call (Live)
4) Pretty Vacant (Live)
5) Wild Thing (Live)

The Phantom Chords - Johnny Remember Me 7'' (1990)



Keeping with Damned related stuff, I bring you Dave Vanian's Phantom Chords. Johnny Remember Me is of course a golden oldie while the B side is a very good intrumental track written by Vanian.

This one came in a special pack (all the "attempted" artwork included) which apparently changes colour. Being colourblind, I wouldn't know sod all about that marlarki.
Tracks

1) Johnny Remember Me
2) Ghost Train

Captain Sensible - Glad Its All Over 12'' (1984)



The title track is dedicated to Christmas and all the false bollox that comes with it. Happy Talk is dedicated to this blog because we are all happy here! It was of course also a number 1 single in the UK and despite being absolutely shite, a victory for Punks Rockers everywhere! The Captain milked it and I don't blame him one bit! Damned On 45 is dedicated to anyone that wants it.

Tracks

1) Glad Its All Over
2) Happy Talk
3) Damned On 45

Anhrefn - Bwrw Cwrw The Ariwa Sound And Studio One Sessions (1989)


I know very little about this band but its my mate Gareth's Birthday today and as he's Welsh and this is a Welsh band and is sung in Welsh, this is todays offering. Its a very good punk/dub album. Needless to say, this is Gareth's album not mine and it was bloody nightmare to rip. I'm sure I've cocked this one up somewhere on side 2! I believe this was their 2nd album and as far as I'm aware, none of their stuff as been re-issed on CD. Anyone out there know anything about these Welsh political punksters?
Happy 46th Birthday Gareth (you old fart!)
Edit - Further investigation tells me they have 3 Studio albums and a live album

NATION ON FIRE = THIEVING TWAT AGAIN!

This blog may well close because of the above mentioned tosser. One of the main reasons why I purchased a digital turntable in the first place was to be re-united with my Vertical Hold singles. The above, who has more previous of blog theft than the rest of blogland put together and previous of theft from me has only gone and nicked my Vertical Hold. There it is on his blog. I downloaded it myself to check. He may up the bitrate but those vinyl crackles just give it away. Just for good measure, he nicked Gary Chings (Always Searching For Music) Sabotage posts and stuck them together on the same post. I've had enough of that wanker NATION ON FIRE. Its the only reason I will stop blogging.

As this is MY blog I'll use this space to express how I feel and post what I like. That kunt is entirely to blame if you click on this blog one day in the very near future and the blog isn't here. I put alot of time and effort into this for the 2 months I've been going and all for what? Some kunt to blantently nick all the good bits for his own blog. Well bollocks to it!

There you go NATION ON FIRE, nick this post as well!
