1. THE DARLING BUDS - 'Shame On You' - Epic LP - UK - 1988
Ah, the Darling Buds. 'Pop Said' is perfect pop album, with some of those versions being better that the actual singles. I remember sacrificing a night on the beer to drive a bunch of us up to Newcastle to see them support the Wonderstuff way back when. I was less than amused to find all three of my passengers had just necked a bag of mushies before I picked 'em up. Still, it didn't detract that much from a pop-tastic night, even though the petal-throwing was a bit much.
2. PERDITION - 'Nothing
For You' - Reactor 7" - Australia - 1984
The lead track from the 'Intoxicated' E.P. which got a better-sounding 12" release the year after.
3. THE DESCENDENTS - 'I'm
Not A Loser' - New Alliance LP - USA - 1982
Last time around I posted a bunch of stuff from 'Milo Goes To College' I was reluctant to leave a few tracks out. I'm putting that right here.
4. THE SHAPES - 'Kids
Stuff' - Demo - UK - 1978
Available on the Overground CD 'Songs For Sensible People', though I suspect it may be sold out by now.
5. VICTIMIZE - 'Day I Met
God' - Demo - UK - 1979
Available on Bored Teenagers Vol.6 LP or double CD, from here.

6. FEARLESS VAMPIRE
KILLERS - 'Oh Your Mammy' - Adventure Family Flexi - Japan - 1987
Another great Japanese title. From the original 'Target' flexi-E.P. There was a hard vinyl re-issue the following year but I prefer this one.

Problems' - Reactor LP - Australia - 1985

ReplyDeleteCheers,
Nolti
Jeez Nolti - you're on the ball! I corrected it 5 minutes after publishing and realising the omission!
DeleteIt doesn't get any better than Milo Goes to College. It is amazing how much better the New Alliance version sounds than the SST version. Not even in the same league.
ReplyDeleteGood point Lewdd. I guess it wasn't remastered from the original studio tapes, and if it was, it wasn't a good pressing.
DeleteHa ha, like the Darling Buds story - did your mates not offer you any shrooms then?
ReplyDeleteOh I can just imagine if they did . . . oh wow, this road's so . . . WIDE . . . kerrrassshhh!!!! I reserve the right to kill myself but not anyone else, I'm afraid.
