It's Request Time Rockers

OK Rockers, It's time for me to make a request from you, out there somewhere, someone must have these records, the first one I have been looking for over ten years now, If anyone wants to sell it then let me know, or if they have a copy would they please share:

The Bears - Insane (LP)

The next one up is a request from Longy one of the faithful visitors and comment contributors to ASFM. he has asked for any of the Vertical Hold singles, so if Longy says there good, then I wanna hear them as well:

Vertical Hold (3 singles Longy knows of)
1) Rubber Cross bw Injustice
2) Angel Dust bw Four years/Dub Years
3) Biohazard/The Time That War Won (double a side)

The next request is from another faithful visitor and comment contributor Thailatic who requested two singles, one I used to have but cannot find:

The Cybermen - You're To blame

The second, I have never heard of, but if Thailatic want to hear it, then so do I:

Happy Birthday Sweet 16 by Clive Pig


Can anyone help?

Request Time 2

OK rockers it's request time 2. ASFM needs your help.

So come on now someone out there must have these songs, and we want to hear them. Some of these were from Request Time 1 which we got a mixed response, so it's worth another go.

Number one, the one I want to hear more than anything:

The Evening Outs - Channel/Stammer on Refill Records RR5 1979 (if anyone has a copy they want to sell as well, then drop me a line as I know someone who wants it - You never know Rupert).

Second up (and i don't know if these even exist, but if they do we want to hear them):

AD1984
Time Through Everybody's Eyes / ? (Grand Prix GP-012, 1983)
1984 / Mushroom Music (Grand Prix GP-014, 1983)

and lastly for me:

The Cybermen - You're To Blame (both sides - we did get an old tape rip of the a-side from Matt M, but if anyones got a nice scratched vinyl rip then perfect)
The following are requests from other ASFM visitors, and if they want to hear them, then they must be good:

1st up for Longy:

Stiff Little Fingers
EP they did with Listen on it - 33 and a 3rd

and we asked for these last time, but no one responded, so lets try again:

Vertical Hold (3 singles Longy knows of)
1) Rubber Cross bw Injustice
2) Angel Dust bw Four years/Dub Years
3) Biohazard/The Time That War Won (double a side)
OK next up is for JamFan:

bodies machinery/ art nouveau single from 79 and the
ignerents radio interference / wrong place wrong time single also 79

Last up is for Herve:

Captain Sensible - second single B-side called "it/I don't like it (demo)

So can anyone help?

Request Time 3

OK rockers its time for you to help out again.

First up, for one of the biggest contributors to ASFM, Bruce Rhodes is desperately searching for these, and if he wants them, then I want to hear them, so here is Bruce's request in his own words:

I'm desperately hunting a couple of U.S. punk singles, and would love to get either the original singles or MP3's.

I've yet to find anyone who has posted them! (Come on, someone must have them!)

I'm after, both singles by, "That Hideous Strength" and "Close Encounter Of The Third Kind" by SST. Also the Readymades debut 45.

C'mon you guys.... . Help to make an old man very happy.
Next up are a couple of tracks requested by some visitors to ASFM:

Red Letters - Sacred Voices (1979)
Ian North's Neo single - Train Sister/A Failed Pop Song
Strate jacket - Your A Hit (circa 1977)

and one for me, I've already asked for this one but I'm gonna keep asking until it turns up, come on someone must have this one somewhere:

The Evening Outs - Channel/Stammer on Refill Records RR5 1979

We also still have some outstanding requests from Request Time 2 (if you want to see then follow the link) - The last two Vertical Hold tracks in particular.

Hope you can help.
