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 !

Feel free to give me a shout : waltjabsco@hotmail.com

NINE BELOW ZERO : Live At The Marquee / Don't Point Your Finger

                                           BIG THANKS as always to Rodd from Oz...

Now this stuff takes me back....Dennis Greaves & co before the Truth. I actually saw the later outfit at the Gallery in Manchester, but never got to see Zero. I'm glad to say they're still doing the rounds...

I remember the clip below well as I tuned in to this new show that, next day, was cult viewing for everyone. No youtube in them days kiddiwinks !

Rodd's also sent me the 2x disc "Doing Their Homework" comp - I'll post it up if there's sufficient interest.


Marquee (1980)

Finger (1981)


Great clip of "Eleven Plus Eleven" from the 1st episode of "The Young Ones" (1982)

    Cheers mate - Marquee has to be my most played album of all time. Been meaning to get on MP3 for ages. Very much appreciated.

    Hi Skamanc
    Possible non_starter
    Do you have anywhere the ultra rare [never on CD] tracks by NBZ
    Homework / Is That You [both studio versions]
    Why Don't You Try Me Tonight [studio version]
    Last Night [from Pack Fair & Square EP]
    Can't find these, had the singles but can't find them either
    Cheers
