1. THE LURKERS - 'She
Knows' -
Beggars Banquet LP - UK - 1979
The opening track to
second album 'God's Lonely Men'. Not a patch on 'Fulham Fallout, sadly.
2. THE PIRANHAS -
'Boyfriend' -
Peel Session - UK - 1979
Another classic Peel session. Complete with one of Peely's famous faux passes at the end.

3. TESCO VEE -
'Interlude #1' - Cruz LP - USA - 1988
Chemical People's first album 'So Sexist!' would have been pretty unremarkable if it wasn't for the hilarious Tesco Vee interludes.

'Don't Tell Me' - Cruz LP - USA - 1988

5. THE RICH KIDS -
'Young Girls' -
Peel Session - UK - 1978
Powerpop excellence from another great Peel session.
6. THE LURKERS -
'Just Thirteen' -
Beggars Banquet 7" - UK - 1979
Their fifth single. How you take this song depends on how you take the chorus line: 'Just thirteen, it's hurting'. Don't jump the gun folks.
7. SPLODGENESSABOUNDS
- 'Rolf' -
Peel Session - UK - 1980
An ode to the Australian didgeridoo/wobble board playing paedophile. I bet they regret it now!
8. TOTAL EGON - 'Jag
Ãr en Genomskinlig Gas' - Self-released 7" - Sweden - 1989
From the one man band himself, this was the opening track from third E.P. 'Män'.

From a little known compilation cassette called 'T.O. Hardcore '83' which got a vinyl reissue in 2010.

12. THE PIRANHAS -
'Getting Beaten Up' -
Peel Session - UK - 1979
Most notable because the 'Watney's' was changed to 'lager' for the vinyl version, no doubt in fear of a costly lawsuit.
13. THE LURKERS -
'Cyanide' -
Beggars Banquet 7" - UK - 1979
Getting your kicks
from cyanide is not recommended. From the flipside of 'Out In The Dark'.
14.
SPLODGENESSABOUNDS - 'Pilchard Freak' - Peel Session - UK - 1980
Knicker-sniffing nonsense from their smirk-inducing Peel session.
15. TOTAL EGON -
'U-Båt I Mitt Badkar' - Self-released 7" - Sweden - 1988
My favourite track from his second E.P. 'Guldkängan'.

21. THE LURKERS -
'This Dirty Town' -
Clay 7" - UK - 1982
The great comeback single without Howard. Shame they didn't follow it up with much.
22. TOTAL EGON -
'Genmanipulera' - S elf-released 7" - Sweden - 1989
Another track from third E.P. 'Män'.

Just stumbled across this blog-thanks for the hard work put into this-are most of the links live or are some dead-appreciated-
ReplyDeleteSorry, most are dead cos Zippyshare deletes files if they aren't downloaded for 30 days. I may upload them again when I run out of CDs to post but that won't be for a good while yet. I don't have the 'net at home so I only have my library time to do the blog and most of that is taken up with jobsearching I'm afraid!
