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 !

BUZZCOCKS, SEX PISTOLS & THE CLASH : Screen On The Green 29/8/76


Just imagine...a quid to watch this little lot. Okay, its almost 35 years ago & I don't know what inflation has done to that pound but what a line up.

I'd just like to dedicate this post to blog friend & contributor Martin Smith. This is an essential piece of Punk history that needs to be downloaded & saved NOW.

I had the 'cocks & Pistols sets on the HDD for years but have only just got round to looking for the Pistols set plus bits of artwork. Anyway its all here now so enjoy & please leave a comment or two.

More than enough blogs have called it a day recently... (Sonchey's Life in Monochrome & Bud's Staring At the Rudeboys are two that'll be sadly missed) & I would hate mine or Gobshyte's (Mondo des Meubles) to be the next one down due to an apparent lack of interest / recognition.

End of sermon - now get this lot downloaded !

& that is a fuckin' order Private !!



Buzzcocks
Pistols
Clash



More planned posts for February include (so far) loads of period Costello, The Faces 1971 - 73, the Chameleons, Clash, Blondie, Magazine, Jonathan Richman & Joy Division...

Comments & feedback welcome... ball's in your court.
