The summer rolls in around my part of the world, so time to celebrate the sun with some original ska and early punk rarities from the archive!
- the proto-Clash 101ers live in May 76 (Jail Guitar Doors and Junco Partner)
- the two original versions of Armagideon Time from 1969 and 1978, and a great live Clash version from 1980
- both 1977 singles from the secret Stranglers/Wilko group, Celia And The Mutations
- Ultravox's first 1975 single as Tiger Lily
- a UK '76 ska-tinged single by Anglo-Ethiopian Mari Elliott, first single by the pre-Bondage Poly Styrene
- and, last but very definitely not least, the best '77 punk anthem you never heard - Rough Trade's 001, Metal Urbain with Paris Maquis - up there with "Anarchy in the UK".
Full pics and detailed texts for each single included. Enjoy! All one easy download at:

ReplyDeleteA big thanks to martin41smith and Herr Pauli for the thanks: 31 downloads and 2 commenters, ah well ... still, the aim is to give Skamanc a boost and some stuff he's never heard of (I hope), so we're up for more. Soon to come: Stranglers 1974-78 demos for martin, rare Wilko for Skamanc, and two rare Television gigs from '77 and '78 for all of ya. Your turn, Herr Pauli, anything you'd like? Cheers on a sunny day, Dave Sez.
ReplyDeleteMy bad (mein Fehler), Herr Pauli - Stranglers for you of course! Cheers matey, Dave Sez. And the answer (for the non-responsive masses) from the Magazine megapost was that the dork in the red jersey was Dave Tomlinson of St Louis Union aka Dave Formula of Magazine .. yes really!
