THE COMPLETE PPC TRIBUTES TO THE FAB FOUR (2006-2012)
Back in december 2006, "Magical Mystery Tour" was the first homemade tribute to one of the Fab Four albums, then the other albums followed until January 2012 with the "One" collection.
Before re-upping, I've made some minor changes, replacing the songs featured on two different compilations ( "Please Please Me" / Blog Masters Vol.1 and "Blog Masters Vol. 2"/"One" ) and changing a song on HDN.

BIZARROS / RUBBER CITY REBELS  - FROM AKRON (1977)
Hailing from Afrom, the Rubber City Rebels delivered more than two decades of  blazing guitar and funny lyrics that share a sensibility with the first Dictators album. The Rebels' side of "From Akron", a local self-release shared 50-50 with the Bizarros, contains such ghastly/funny send-ups as "Brain Job" the infanticide-discouraging "Child Eaters".

Playing serious, intense, sometimes hypnotic rock with poetically inclined verbiage and pre-Gang of Four jabbing guitars, Bizarros music is strong and affecting. Their half of From Akron is pretty raw. 

Lossy (ZS): 320 lame 3.98 (97 mb)
Lossless (NK): FLAC 8 (239 mb)

Lady Doubonette / I Bizarro / Jackson's Pride / Ice Age    / White Screen Movies

DUCKS DELUXE - DUCKS DELUXE (1974, US Edition)
In 1973 the band signed to RCA and released their first single, "Coast To Coast", written by Sean Tyla and Nick Garvey, though Tyla is not credited on the track, because he was trying to untangle himself from a previous publishing deal. They also appeared in BBC TV Play for Today called Blooming Youth. Their eponymous debut album Ducks Deluxe was released in early 1974, and "captures something of the fire and excitement that the Ducks' live act generated".

This is the US LP edition which omits "I Got You" and has a totally different track order.from the UK release. 

Lossy (ZS): 320 lame 3.98 (103 mb)
Lossless (NK): FLAC 8 (286 mb)
