Comic Romance - Cry Myself to Sleep 7" (1979)

Most of you probably don't recognize the name Robin Scott. He was involved in music since the 60's after declining a partnership in Malcom MacLaren's
SEX shop. He played folk songs sharing the bill with David Bowie.
In 1972 he entered the 'Search For A Star' national talent contest, which he won, and was offered a recording contract by EMI, but, because they would not support his backing band, he turned down the deal.

Among a number of other projects he put out this single in 1979. It was the only release under this name.

That same year he released music under the name M which, as with Comic Romance, was himself and studio musicians - not an actual band.

After M's song Pop Muzik became a hit this single was re-released with a new cover to cash in on the sucess.

Power Trip - Don't Pet Me, I'm Working 7"

New York punk from 1991 done right. If you appreciate OPIV you'll like this. Only half the songs here incorporate a ska sound but the straightforward punk songs stand out more than the pseudo-ska does.

1 Don't Pet Me
2 Big Brown Chevy
3 Ball and Chain
4 Point of View
5 Technology
6 Identity Crisis

100 Men - Released and Unreleased

This one's a bit of a joint effort. The sounds were provided by Ronan and the info was from Rikard who considers 100 Men his favorite band second only to the Cosmics.

He informs us that 100 Men released 3 demos:
First one was "Yard Tapes" in 1990 with the songs Ball with my baby , Hungry in Dun Laoghaire, What a wonderful world and Yard Version. Second tape was "In session 2" from 1991 with the songs Time is tight, Hungry in Dun Laoghaire, I wish and Tell me about it. 3rd and final was Reggae Juk from 1993 with the songs Reggae Juk and Rocksteady 2


This is pretty much those demos in a nutshell.

*Ball With My Baby
*Hungry in Dun Laoghaire
*I Wish
*Reggae Juk
*Tell Me About It
*Time is Tight
*What a Wonderful World
*Yard Version
*Yeah Yeah Girl

Skankin' Pickle - 1990 demo cassette

People write to me every now and then and ask me if they can re-post something I've posted. My answer is always YES. Please help me put this stuff out there so that real ska fans have access to it somehow or another.

This tape is something that I know a lot of people will appreciate so if you have a blog by all means re-post this. It's Skankin' Pickles' first recording and is all but impossible to find. There are 4 songs that were never released on any of their later records as well as a studio version of Burnt Head which was only released as a live recording on Skafunkrastapunk.

(Oh yeah, on this version of "I Missed the Bus" he was watching a Panasonic, not a Magnavox. It's a strange world.)

1 I Missed the Bus
2 Pseudo Punk
3 Hand Twister
4 World's Falling Down*
5 Burn't Head
6 Nuclear Dance Bomb*
7 Anxiety Attack
8 My Hair (Look Like Dahn)
9 Peter, Piper & Mary
10 Shark Teaser*
11 Whatever Happened
12 I've Had Enough*
