Re: New song from Simmo and Galen
Works for me -- I was somewhat familiar with Galen's work before this track dropped, so in that sense, it's not a huge departure from what she's done in the past. Paul's voice is definitely the biggest surprise here -- sounds like he's worked out what to do with it. No Red Angel Dragnet-style maneuv...

Re: Havana 3a.m. - live unreleased
Thank you so much Geraldmanns, it's just what i was looking For. Hope Will be more uploaded...i Like so much Havana 3am with Paul and Nigel. There's at least one more video floating around out there, which is a show from London. One notable feature is that Gus Andrews, who played trumpet on Hey Ami...

Re: Havana 3a.m. - live unreleased
There's the Texas Glitter and Tombstone Tales album credited to Gary Myrick and Havana 3 AM. It contains Hunger along with 13 other tracks. That's a good album, with more of a rootsier, twangier sort of vibe than the debut. But I like it quite a bit. If I recall correctly, Myrick continued the band...

Re: Wake Up EP + Billy Bragg & Freinds
Firstly real glad all went well with your screening. Great news Yes, it was, after living in that netherworld of knowing/not knowing for months -- it was scheduled back in December, so I had ample time late at night to contemplate whatever scenarios I (didn't) want to contemplate. :mrgreen: So I'm ...

Re: Wake Up EP + Billy Bragg & Freinds
Cheers Ralph glad you got it. Would like to read that comic/zine when finished. Good luck with it.😎👍 Thanks! I'll tap you on the shoulder when that happens. It's actually the third one I've done -- I finished one on the history of Fred Smith/Sonic's Rendezvous, which I'm preparing to send out for r...

Re: Wanted: WAKE UP Miner's Benefit EP+Booklet (1987)
Thanks, Marky, I did just that. As for the booklet, I just decided to take pix of the full screens, and make a PDF out of that -- it won't be ideal, but it'll have to do, until I get my hands on the actual booklet itself.Go here people.

Re: Wake Up EP + Billy Bragg & Freinds
Listening to this earlier made me feel quite sad. Not that the music isn't fantastic but that we seem to have learned nothing from past events. NHS, postal workers, train drivers, fire fighters all striking for better conditions. Support them if you can people. Kick out the Tories! Thanks, Marky! F...

Re: Wanted: WAKE UP Miner's Benefit EP+Booklet (1987)
I would like a copy of it my self. I've got a couple of copies of Wake Up fanzine in my archive but unfortunately not this one. It's on YouTube with a link to the booklet. The booklet is available to read and share but I can't download it either. Yes. that's the one, all right. I don't really under...

Wanted: WAKE UP Miner's Benefit EP+Booklet (1987)
WAKE UP NO. 8.jpg Back with another (potentially) big ask: does anybody have a copy of this EP that they could upload? I've spotted one copy on eBay for $40, which is way too much for my blood. Also, there was a 40-page booklet that came with it -- I'd really be interested in getting ahold of that,...

Re: RIP Terry Hall
As much as any ska fan would have loved a straight up sequel to the first album, I really respect Dammers' push from the Bad Manners cliché. And I love Bad Manners. Some band members said, as a criticism, that they were going from With the Beatles to Sgt Pepper's without doing Rubber Soul. What a g...

Re: Replacements Poll
I voted for Don't Tell A Soul. I love the way the songs sound on the Dead Man's Pop release. Haven't heard that release, but wouldn't be hard to see it as a vast improvement --as I've written elsewhere, DTAS has great songs that are just strangled by production gloop. All those hot and trendy touch...

Re: RIP Terry Hall
Great clips -- great quality! And, of course, you can't beat those songs, though I think they were still finding ways to stay relevant. I loved their reworking of Prince Buster's Ten Commandments -- that was truly an inspired stroke! So was their last album, Protest Songs: 1924-2012 . Here are some ...

Re: RIP Keith Levene
Hello, Thanks! I'm listening now. The sound is pretty good - it's very good early PIL sound. Great, glad it worked out! Now that you've heard it, I think you can imagine why I felt so let down by what happened a couple years later. Though, in a sense, the triumph of Album more than made up for that...

Re: Waking Up rip?
Does anyone have a good quality rip of 'Waking Up'? I tried playing my vinyl copy and it's pretty knackered and am wary about looking for another copy. I looked for a cd, but couldn't see a copy available. I bought it when it came out originally, though I haven't played it in a long time. There see...

Re: RIP Keith Levene
Hello, I'm curious about the Live in Pasadena bootleg you mentioned. Is that easily found? Is it PIL or Keith Levene or some other concoction? Thanks! Sure! This show features the post-Wobble era lineup, so -- you have John, and Keith, plus Wobble's successor, Peter Jones, and the ubiquitous Martin...
