The Saints - Know Your Product 7'' (1978)

This one was recorded in a tin-hut in the middle of nowhere and there was a massive rainstorm at the time. But the good news is, it doesn't jump once which is a miracle. I don't know if this came with a picture cover but mine didn't. This is marked "demo record, not for sale" on the label but I don't think thats an excuse for the tin-hut and rain. If there was a free helpline for abused 7'' records then this one would be right on the phone. Great tune though.


Tracks


1) Know Your Product
2) Run Down

Boomtown Rats - Someone's Looking At You 7'' (1979)

Have some Rats. Probably Sir Bob's last good musical moment.


Tracks


1) Someone's Looking At You
2) When The Night Comes

Beastie Boys - She's On It 12'' (1985)

2) Hold It,Now Hit It
3) Slow And Low

Sham 69 - Volunteer LP (1988)



As requested by Marky Dread. Click up the 2nd cover for the tracklist.
Re-upped

Dead Kennedys - Halloween 7'' (1982)

You'd just as well have another Dead Kennedy's one while I'm here. Haven't heard Saturday Night Holocaust for a few years and really enjoyed listening to that again. Much better than the A side in my humble opinion.


Tracks


1) Halloween
2) Saturday Night Holocaust


http://rapidshare.com/files/376572120/Halloween_7__.rar

Dead Kennedys - Bleed For Me 7'' (1982)

A very underated single from the DK's. What a great band these lot were. I only wish I had seen them. This comes with lyric insert (woopie I hear you shout)


Tracks


1) Bleed For Me
2) Life Sentence

Dillinger - Cocaine In My Brain: The Anthology (2004)


Some classic deejay reggae from Kingston,Jamaica. Not really an anthology as his had many more albums and songs than whats on this. But this is a good place to start if you are a novice on all things Dillinger. Click on the 2nd cover for the tracklist as I'm too damned lazy to type it all out.

Goodbye!


Perhaps now we can save our season!

Sham 69 - Outside The Warehouse 12'' (1988)

Today is the birthday of one Jimmy Pursey. Many happy returns Jimbo. To celebrate such an event I bring you another not so easy to find Sham 12'' Tracks 2 and 3 are from the album, Volunteer but the extended version is not on any album.

Did I mention Jimmy's new band,Day 21 and the video you can see here http://www.day21.tv/free.html and the cheap mp3 you can buy for only 50p (or $) I thought not.


Tracks


1) Outside The Warehouse (Extended Mix)
2) Outside The Warehouse (7'' Mix)
3) How The West Was Won

Metallica - One (Demo Version) 12'' (1989)

Just for a change, some Metallica for you. Nowhere near as good as the original of course. This is what is written on the label........

"This is the original demo of "One" that we recorded on James's four track right after we wrote the song around the second week of November '87. It's basically just guitars,drums and vocals with Kirk in and laying down the solo after he'd only heard the song the day before,and since there were only four tracks there is no bass"


Like the original "One" this has For Whom The Bell Tolls Live on the B side but unlike the original this has a Live version of Creeping Death on it whereas the original has Welcome Home (Sanitarium). These are probably on shedloads of bootlegs anyway but if you want the crackly vinyl and dodgy artwork in rare gatefold sleeve,then here it is.


Tracks


1) One (Demo Version)
2) For Whom The Bell Tolls (Live)
3) Creeping Death (Live)

Jake Burns & The Big Wheel - Breathless 12'' (1987)

The great Stiff Little Fingers frontman Mr Jake Burns with his Big Wheel. Nothing like SLF unfortunately and nowhere near as good. Luckily Burns reformed his Fingers and chucked his Big Wheels in the bin. There, I really sold this one to you didn't I. I'll be seeing SLF again on the 27th March and I can't wait.


Tracks


1) Breathless (Extended Version)
2) Valentines Day (Extended Version)

Shane MacGowan - My Way CD Single (1996)

And another version of Frank Sinatra's My Way, this time by the legend that is Shane MacGowan. Does a good job of it too. My favourite on this CD is The Song With No Name. Brilliant MacGowan as ever.


Tracks


1) My Way
2) The Song With No Name
3) Aisling
4) My Way (Your Way With You)

Sex Pistols - The Biggest Blow 12'' (1978)

This one needs no introduction. I wonder how many people are browsing for porn right now and come across "the biggest blow" mediafire link and download this one : - )


Tracks


1) The Biggest Blow (A Punk Prayer By Ronnie Biggs)
2) My Way


http://rapidshare.com/files/377432781/The_Biggest_Blow_12__.rar

Motorhead - The One To Sing The Blues 12'' EP (1990)

If theres one band the Punks always accepted it has to be Motorhead. Even the most narrow-minded Mohawk would have a good old pogo to Lemmy & co. Well this one isn't particulary good for them and not up to the standard of their eariler stuff on the Bronze label (in my opinion) Having said that, its still good because its Motorhead! Why they ever wondered onto the Epic label is beyond me.

I uploaded this because I can't see it about on any blogs and because the band are worthy of being here. Luckily they are still going and the last album (Motorizer) was great. I once stood by Lemmy's amp for a whole Motorhead gig with a mate in an endurance test. We both passed with flying colours but I was mutton for a few days afterwards. Not recommended. Funny enough, Motorhead were not the loudest band I ever saw. That title goes to Therapy? who were absolutely deafening. Who were the loudest band you ever saw then?


Tracks


1) The Song To Sing The Blues
2) Dead Man's Hand
3) Eagle Rock
4) Shut You Down

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Cities In Dust 7'' (1985)

Some more Siouxsie for ya. Another one I've always liked. B side is wierd but good with it.


Tracks


1) Cities In Dust
2) An Execution


http://rapidshare.com/files/377446319/Cities_In_Dust_7__.rar

The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Colours 7'' (1988)

A remixed version of The Colours from 1988. Nothing could beat Ironmasters though and you can find that and much more just across the road over at Gary's house http://asfm.blogspot.com/


Tracks


1) The Colours (Remix)
2) Rory's Grave

Pop Will Eat Itself - Love Missile F1-11 7'' (1987)

Pop actually hasn't eaten itself yet but its well on the way.Fair play to this this band for at least trying to do a Hawkwind cover on the B side but a 2 minute Orgone Accumulator was never going to work was it? I like the A side so I don't care.


Tracks


1) Love Missile F1-11
2) Orgone Accumulator

The Skids - Circus Games 7'' (1980)


This one came a year later. Not as good but still good.


Tracks


1) Circus Games
2) One Degree



http://rapidshare.com/files/343963622/Circus_Games_7__.rar

The Skids - Masquerade 7'' (1979)


Staying in '79,I notice theres no Skids on here. Shocking! I'm sure I used to have the double single of this one but alas,not any more. I expect Gary Ching will have it. Classic stuff from these Scottish legends. R.I.P. Stuart Adamson.


Tracks


1) Masquerade
2) Out Of Town



http://rapidshare.com/files/343967370/Masquerade_7__.rar

The Adverts - My Place 7'' (1979)


TV Smith, another British songwriting legend back with his Adverts in 1979. If you haven't got the Adverts anthology CD or the entire TV Smith back catalogue, then I'm afraid you are dipping out in a major way. I've always had a soft spot for this single.


Tracks


1) My Place
2) New Church (Live)

Department S - Going Left Right 12'' (1981)

The follow up single to the famous British hit single, Is Vic There?. This one only just touched the outer reaches of the UK chart but was better in my most humble of opinions. Theres a French version of Is Vic There on this as well. Whatever happened to these Londoners?


Tracks


1) Going Left Right (Extended Version)
2) She's Expecting You
3) Is Vic There? (French Version)


http://rapidshare.com/files/376588558/Going_Left_Right_12__.rar

Pere Ubu - Waiting For Mary (What Are We Doing Here) 7'' (1989)

These weren't amongst my favourite bands by any stretch but I like this one. The B side reminds of Jello Biafra for some reason.


Tracks



1) Waiting For Mary (What Are We Doing Here)
2) Wine Dark Sparks




http://rapidshare.com/files/377304394/Waiting_For_Mary__What_Are_We_Doing_Here__7__.rar

The Fall - The Man Whose Head Expanded 7'' (1983)


Found this one on soulseek. Even as far back as 1983, Jose Mourinho was still getting songs written about him!


Tracks



1) The Man Whose Head Expanded
2) Ludd Gang
