The Ruts 12'' EP (1983)

Virgin records had some great bands on their label and The Ruts were one of them. This 12'' was released well after the death of Malcolm Owen and the end of the band and it featured 4 great Ruts A sides. Sadly Paul Fox joined Malc last year in the great gig in the sky. R.I.P. Malc & Foxy.

The Ruts will never be forgotten by those who saw them or heard them. Theres nothing you haven't heard here before but completists might want this format as this 12'' (like the Crisis one posted a while back) seems much harder to find than the actual 7'' singles.

Tracks

1) Babylons Burning
2) Something That I Said
3) Staring At The Rude Boys
4) West One (Shine On Me)

The Psychedelic Furs - Danger 7'' (1982)

Yet another superb band from the UK that have somehow managed to avoid being posted on this blog. The wonderful Psychedelic Furs from '82. A brillaint B side in my humble opinion.



Tracks


1) Danger
2) I Don't Want To Be Your Shadow

The Meteors - Go Buddy Go 12'' (1987)

Inspired by the recent Meteors posting up at the tremendous http://punksonpostcards.blogspot.com/ and staying very much on a Stranglers theme, Punk Friction proudly presents this fine piece of plastic. For the youngsters who visit here and may not know,Go Buddy Go was an old Stranglers single (a double A side along with Peaches) which was a UK top 10 hit back in 1977. The B sides are good old Psychobilly and not many could play Psychobilly in this country quite like the Meteors could.


Tracks


1) Go Buddy Go
2) Wildkat Ways
3) You Crack Me Up

The Stranglers - The Nightracks Radio One Sessions 12'' (1989)

Originally recorded in 1982,this somehow took 7 whole years to get to vinyl. Its The Stranglers sounding superb. What more could you possibly ask for? This version of Down In The Sewer is almost as good as the original and some might even argue,better.


Tracks


1) The Man They Love To Hate
2) Nuclear Device/Genetix
3) Down In The Sewer

Killing Joke - Wardance 7'' (1980)

Lets be honest,everyone likes this song don't they? If not,I want to know why. Perhaps we can help you get the help you clearly need......like having your ears syringed (or a brain transplant)



Tracks



1) Wardance
2) Pssyche

Joe Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War - Trash City 7'' (1988)

Joe Strummer = Inspirational, much missed legend. R.I.P. This is a great tune.


Tracks


1) Trash City
2) Theme From Permanant Records

Adam & The Ants - Deutscher Girls 7'' (1978)

It seems almost criminal but up until theres been no Ants on here. These songs, as the back of the cover clearly tells you,were both on the original soundtrack of the 1977 film Jubilee. I've still got that on vinyl but its in terrible condition! Two great songs here. Plastic Surgery is in fact my favourite Ants song of all time but Deutscher Girls isn't that far behind it.



Tracks



1) Deutscher Girls
2) Plastic Surgery

Swell Maps - Dresden Style 7'' (1980)

Swell Maps were a great band,its as simple as that and theres no need for me write whats already been said about just how great they were. Any band with Jowe Head in it has to of been pretty damn good hasn't it?


R.I.P. Nicki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks



Tracks



1) Dresden Style
2) Ammunition Train
3) Full Moon

Eddie & The Hot Rods - Media Messiahs 7'' (1978)

Another blast from Eddie & The Hots.





Tracks




1) Media Messiahs
2) Horror Through Straightness

Crazyhead - Baby Turpentine 12'' (1987)

Baby Turpentine was a minor hit back in '87 for these Leicester lads but like many other bands, they seemed to slowly fade into oblivion. This was their 2nd single (I think)


Tracks


1) Baby Turpentine
2) I Don't Want That Kind Of Love
3) Bang Bang
4) Sinking Feeling


http://rapidshare.com/files/376343077/Baby_Turpentine_12__.rar

Mo-Dettes - White Mice 7'' (1980)

The cracking debut single by the excellent Mo-Dettes.


Tracks


1) White Mice
2) Masochistic Opposite


http://rapidshare.com/files/377235873/White_Mice_7__.rar

The Outcasts - 1969 12'' (1985)

This was the final single from Belfast's finest. Not their best by a long way but still worthy of a listen. This is their extended version of the classic Stooges song,1969.


Tracks


1) 1969 (Extended Version)
2) Psychotic Shakedown
3) Blue Murder


http://rapidshare.com/files/376320040/1969_12__.rar

Alternative TV - Life After Life 7'' (1977)

I've always loved ATV. Mark Perry is an underated genius. This band could play the best 1977 punk there was (How Much Longer,Life,You Bastard ect) and also numbers like this one. I saw this as another experimental tune (one of many) but then again,I saw ATV as an experimental band (and a great one)

Joolz Holland also makes an appearance on this song (probably something to do with ATV and Squeeze being on the same record label at the time) Long live Mr Mark Perry!


Tracks


1) Life After Life
2) Life After Dub

Napalm Death/Electro Hippies freebie 7'' (1989)

If you like long drawnout music then stay away from this Guinness Book Of Records entry. This very special split 7''single was given away free with the compilation album "Grindcrusher"

Featuring Napalm Death and Electro Hippies,this one shouldn't take too long to either 1) download or 2) play. I've seen many Napalm Death "discographys" online but none of them included this beauty. You Suffer, was also on Napalm's classic debut album "Scum" while the Electro Hippies song is on their "Play Fast Or Die" album.

Enjoy both songs - blink,and you'll miss em : - )


Tracks


1) Napalm Death - You Suffer
2) Electro Hippies - Mega Armageddon Death Pt 3

Oasis - Wibbling Rivalry 7'' (1995)

You can say what you like about Oasis......the truth is,they've made some great tunes over the years whether you like them or not. In 1995 along with Blur,they were ruling the waves here in England. This wasn't one of their hits from that year (surprise suprise) This was also released as a CD single also on the Fierce Panda (who?) record label. Don't listen to this one in front of your kids. It does what it says on the tin. Two brothers,lots of alcohol, two big egos and a tape recorder = Wibbling Rivalry!


Tracks


1) Noel Side (A Lot Of Swearing And Cussing)
2) Liam Side (Even More Swearing And Cussing)

Compulsion - Mail Monarchy 12'' EP (1994)

While everyone in the world was seemingly knocking one out over Nirvana and co these Irish lads seemed to come and go almost noticed by the masses (me included) This was a great little ep released in 1994. Its the only Compulsion vinyl on the Longy radar. Anyone out there got any of the others?


Tracks


1) Mail Monarchy
2) A Little Mistake
3) Galvanised
4) F Bryon Farnsworth

Magazine - Give Me Everything 7'' (1978)

Well I don't suppose you'll miss me for the next couple of days and to be truthful,I won't miss you either. I've got a Magazine gig to go to tomorrow and I cannot feckin' wait : - ) I'll be back some time on Sunday and will probably post again on Monday. I'll leave you this one last post because I'm kind. This is my favourite Magazine single.

New Model Army - Live At The Marquee,London,1985 (Video)

As I'm away for next 2/3 days I'll leave you with this too. From 1985,live at Marquee,London, 28 minutes and 24 seconds of classic New Model Army. NMA fans will probably have this already but if not,then you know what to do. Had to use megaupload for this one as its 191mb. Depending on the time of day, megaupload can be slow. UK downloaders are best of grabbing this 1st thing in the morning or late at night. Btw, I accidently renamed this file nwa not nma so a few rappers searching megaupload might be disappointed. If you don't like this,there's something seriously wrong with you!


A sample of what you are getting can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzjHbbXH2XE

Tracks

1) Ambition
2) Heroin
3) No Rest
4) Better Than Them
5) No Greater Love
6) Young Gifted & Skint
7) Christian Militia

New Model Army - Get Me Out 12'' (1990)

The fabulous New Model Army. Quite possibly, the greatest band in the world and quite definately, one of the greatest of all time. But you knew that already (if you had any sense) This came in a gatefold sleeve and included a poster (the front cover on one side and the band photo which is inside the gatefold sleeve on the other. I can't find mine but its around somewhere.


R.I.P. Robert Heaton


Tracks


1) Get Me Out (12'' Mix)
2) Prison
3) Get Me Out (7'' Mix)
4) White Coats (Live)

King Blank - Mouth Off 12'' (1988)

Its been a while since we're had any Ian Lowery stuff. King Blank, as you all know,came after The Folk Devils and were just as good.....but all Ian Lowery's stuff was good. Yea, I know, you knew that too. R.I.P. Ian Lowery.

2) Drunk On Tears

Dead Boys - Tell Me 7'' (1978)

Stiv Bators (R.I..P.) and his fabulous Dead Boys from 1978. The A side was from the We Have Come For Your Children LP and the B sides were remixed versions of Young,Loud and Snotty's Not Anymore and Ain't Nothing To Do. Super stuff.

2) Not Anymore
