Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

Various Artists : Don't Let The Hope Close Down (1984) PRISONERS HUSH

Thanks to TC for this rarity - a scratchy vinyl transfer of the "Don't Let The Hope Close Down" benefit LP from 1984. TC himself would like a better quality version of this record / file - anyone out there able to help ?


Our main point of interest here is a mega rare studio version of "Hush" by The Prisoners - a great addition to the collection. Download, enjoy & please leave a word or two of thanks for TC...

  5. Great album - my vinyl copy is scratched to hell after being played at one too many after pub sessions!
    Very rare & very expensive when a copy comes up on E-bay so thank you for this.
