The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God 7'' (1988)

Back in '88 the Pogues were taking the world by storm. Three superb albums and a string of great singles,it seemed nothing would stop them. Unfortunately after the If I Should Fall From Grace Album it all started going downhill. Shane was getting so bladdered it was amazing he was still alive - who can forget The Reading Festival where he managed just 2 songs. Something I'll never forget as we made the mistake of being right down the front when they came on stage. I was surprised nobody was killed in that crush! Such a shame about Shane's antics because they were an incredible live band. I will always have fond memories of seeing The Pogues at their best (and their worst)


Tracks


1) If I Should Fall From Grace With God

My answer is "Commando"

S*M*A*S*H - Barrabas (Piloted) 7'' (1994)

S*M*A*S*H were a breathe of fresh air at the time and very underated in my most humble of opions. Thats all I can be bothered to say except to mention that this one came in Brown Vinyl but if you're colourblind like me then it looks green!


Tracks


1) Barrabas (Piloted)
2) Turn On The Water

The Dickies - Give It Back (White Vinyl) 7'' (1978)

Back in 1978 The Dickies played in Plymouth for the one and only time. Unfortunately I missed them due to being "grounded" for being a naughty boy (I was wrongly accused of a crime I didn't commit (theft of a calculator) from the shop where I did my £4 a week paper-round. I found the Police searching my bedroom when I arrived home from my round and heard my Mum saying to the Copper "Well he's probably sold it now" Needless to say I wasn't happy. I also got sacked from what was my first ever "job" I did get my revenge though by burning down the half the shop when I set all the bins at the back of it on fire a few weeks later. Anyway,enough of that before I incriminate myself)

I may not of got in to the gig anyway due to only being 13/14 at the time! In our school,there was a 5th year pupil by the name of Al Read who was a very tall Punk. So tall he got in to all the gigs easily. So this picture cover was brought into "Honicknowle Secondary College Of Knowledge" on the day of the gig and given to Mr Read to get signed by the band. Well he managed 3 out of 5 including the late Chuck Wagon. Who would of thought it,I'm jealous of a picture cover for seeing the band when I didn't! This was their 3rd single.


Tracks




1) Give It Back
2) You Drive Me Ape

Is it time to order your Margaret Thatcher EP's?

Some of you will already be aware that dear old Maggie Thatcher is looking rather frail. The poor old biddy even fell over and broke her arm today. I'm not ashamed to say I can't wait for the **** to die.


To celebrate the occasion, Chumbawamba have come up with a very novel idea. Order your special "Memoriam" EP now for just £5 and it will be dispatched on the actual day shes snuffs it. Play it to your friends during the street-party!

The Ruts - Staring At The Rude Boys 7'' (1980)

Its time for someone to make a confession. Who had this single and actually filled in the crossword? C'mon admit it,there must be someone out there! Besides making fantastic punk tunes the Ruts could sure play some mean reggae too as demonstrated on the B side here.


R.I.P. Malc & Foxy


Tracks


1) Staring At The Rude Boys
2) Love In Vain

The Last Testament - The Making Of London Calling (Video)

Found this bugger on Soulseek a couple of years ago. A very interesting documentary if you happened to like The Clash (which everyone did) about the making of a certain album. Input from all the band including the late great Joe Strummer (R.I.P.) Credit to this should go to whoever ripped it in the first place. So if you have a spare 32 minutes 27 seconds and theres sod all on TV,then you know what to do!


Dedicated to my mate Gareth. Possibly the last man in England to get Broadband!

999 - Indian Reservation (Clear Vinyl) 7'' (1981)

The wonderful 999 from 1981. Still going strong today. In fact their last album from 2007 (Death In Soho) was so good it totally shocked me. Probably their best album since Concrete in my humblest of opinions.


Tracks


1) Indian Reservation
2) So Greedy (Remixed)
3) Taboo

Violators - Life On The Red Line 7'' (1983)

Very different to the last Violators posting but staying with the band,this one wasn't quite so popular. Line-up changes and a new change in sound. Again for me I prefer the B side. Sorry about the extremely digital camera un-friendly cover!


Tracks


1) Life On The Red Line
2) Crossings Of Sangsara

Violators - Summer Of '81 7'' (1982)

One of my favourite singles from the much loved year of many,1982. Both sides are classics but if push came to shove then I'd have to say I prefered the B side on this one. I expect I'm in the minority but I won't lose any sleep over it :-)


Tracks


1) Summer Of '81
2) Die Fast Die Young

Anhrefn - Live Rhedeg I Bohemia LP (1991)

This live album by Welsh wonders Anhrefn was only released in the former Czechoslovakia I believe. Another one I found on ebay for a very reasonable price. Definately worth a listen for 3 reasons other than the fact its great 1) Their take on The Ruts Staring At The Rude Boys 2) The enthusiac Bohemian audience 3) The great time consuming differcult job I did of ripping a live album I've never heard before!


Tracks


01) Duw Y Dyn Eira

Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant (Live Silver Vinyl) 7'' (1996)

Inspired by Markys post over at his excellent new blog http://dreamsofmysterychords.blogspot.com/ this Pretty Vacant is the live one from the Filthy Lucre tour in 1996. The B side is wrongly entitled "Buddies" instead of "Bodies" but hey thats an easy mistake to make by a record label isn't it?


Tracks

The Damned - New Rose (White Vinyl With One Sided Live Freebie) 7'' (1986)

New Rose needs no introduction of course. A classic uploaded in a thousand places by every man and beast. This re-issue came out in 1986 (cheers for the correction Marky) on white vinyl and included a one-sided live 7''. Although the freebie is entitled "Im So Bored" it is in fact a live version version of The Damned's "I Fall" which as you all know is a completely different song altogether.


Tracks


1) New Rose
2) Help
3) I'm So Bored (Live) (but its not really!)

The Crack - Don't You Ever Let Me Down 7'' (1982)

Inspired by Sarah's posting over the excellent http://rbkwh.blogspot.com/ here is another single by The Crack. The band won a Battle Of The Bands competition back in '82 which was on National TV and was apparently judged by Noddy Holder. I don't remember seeing it myself.....does anyone? Anyway this 7'' was taken from the V/A Battle Of The Bands Vol 2 album and was also on the later In Search Of The Crack album. The B side was on neither.


Tracks


1) Don't You Ever Let Me Down
2) I Can't Take It

Wendy & Lemmy - Stand By Your Man 7'' (1982)

And staying with the late Wendy O Williams,here she teamed up with Motorhead legend Lemmy to belt out this old Tammy Wynette"classic" Crackly as heck this one I'm afraid. Wendy sings a version of Motorheads No Class on the B side and Lemmy sings The Plasmatics song,Masterplan.


Tracks


1) Stand By Your Man
2) No Class
3) Masterplan

The Plasmatics - Butcher Baby 12'' (1980)

I recently brought this for 25p on Ebay. It was so cheap because of the scribbles on the back cover and label (someone pretending to autograph the cover) Still for 25p,I'm not gonna knock it. Plasmatics were one of those bands I just wish I had seen. Video footage tells me that much! If anyone was lucky enough to see them then feel free to describe the experience via the comments.



R.I.P. Wendy O'Williams

X-E-Cutors/X-Films (Split Single) 7'' (1979)

I'll be honest,I don't know sod all about either of these bands on this crackly single. I think both have been on certain compilations which I can't remember the name of. If anyone had any info on either band then feel free to share your knowledge.


Tracks


1) Too Far To Look Inside My Head (X-E-Cutors)
2) After My Blood (X-Films)

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Interview (Spiral Scratch Freebie) 7'' (1988)

Another Spiral Scratch magazine freebie. This ones an interview with Siouxsie while the Banshees were on tour in Germany in 1988 which lasts around 15 minutes.
