Double Barrel Ska Explosion - The London International Ska Festival II (1989)
I finally procured myself a copy of this Unicorn Records set. The vinyls are immaculate but I just couldn't get a good rip. I was hoping to have this posted in time for the 2013 LISF but that didn't happen.
I pretty much forgot about it and moved on to better things - but then our Swedish correspondent Rikard sent an amazing array of rare ska, and this was included in that collection. As it seems my sub-par rips were no fault of my own. This is how the record sounds.
This is the version ripped by Rikard. The sound quality ain't great but you know most of these songs and you will sing along..

Sleep-N-Eat EP (1981)
This compilation from '81 claims a song called "No One Like You" by the Volecanoes. The Volecanoes being the Originals...Arthur Kays back-up band. It says that they went off on their own to do this song, but Arthur Kay helped them on it.
It's odd that this exact recording was released in 1982 under the name Arthur Kay and the Originals with the correct title "No One But You" (which is what the lyrics are).
(download this 7")
...aside from that there are a couple of power-popish rocking songs and a great track by a band called Naughty Thoughts which was headed by Mark Edwards of the Kent band The Rivals (great punk band, by the way...check em out).
For more on Naughty Thoughts (and their first release - All or Nothing) see My Life's a Jigsaw
A1 - Naughty Thoughts - Stalking Shadows
A2 - Dogs Don't Lie - Newage
B1 - The Volecanoes - No On Like You
B2 - The City Blues Band - Meatballs
"Naughty Thoughts - Stalking Shadows"
Thanks to Rikard for this submission!!
