4. UNICEF - 'Käkimassaa' - Johanna 7" - Finland - 1983
Another sole single. Sounds like a manic cover of Skrewdriver's 'You're So Dumb' but my slim grasp of Finnish cannot confirm it.

5. DIE WALTER 11 -
'Kaiserslautern' - X-Mist 7" - Germany - 1986
The other band from the 'Don't Forget The Fun' E.P. A good singalong number. Possibly a football song. Let me know.

6. Y TRWYNAU COCH -
'Merched Dan 15' - Recordiau Sgwar 7" - UK - 1978
From Wales, from their debut E.P. Welsh is a deliberately obscure language designed to confound the English. Now that we have Google translate I can confirm that these 'Red Noses' were singing about girls under 15. What they were saying about them confounds me.

And this lot came from just down the road in Seaham. The vastly superior flipside of terrible sole single 'Generation Gap'. What were they thinking?

ReplyDeleteget more bisquits.. :))
I was expecting a classic but there were very few standouts for me. My standards are high, but often at odds with common sense or popular opinion. Too many magic mushrooms, I guess!
