This is a great site, Gary. You are virtually replicating my record collection which is stored in cardboard boxes 6,000 miles away!!
I'd forgotten all about this ep but now I've seen it again I seem to remember that one of these bands (Joe Public?) went on to join the "Sinatra" era Subway Sect and later became JoBoxers.
Keep up the good work.
Do you, by any chance, have a copy of either "Happy Birthday Sweet 16" by Clive Pig or "You're To Blame" by The Cybermen? Two cracking singles from this era and songs I haven't heard in nearly 30 years!!
If so, is there any chance you could post them on here?
Thanks.
Hi Thailatic, thanks for your comments. I am afraid I have not got Clive Pig, but I did have the Cybermen - just haven't seen it (yet) in the boxes I have down from the loft. I will go and have another look.
You're welcome.
Shame about Clive Pig but happy hunting for The Cybermen!!
I love 48 Hours song since I heard it the first time. I have it on the "England belongs to me" compilation. Great post!
Hey Nietzba, thanks for your comment. I've not heard of the England belongs To Me comp. anything else good on it?
