You know these guys because of Steps in the Alley. I did have my own copy of this record as you can see from the scans, but the rips were sent to me by your friend and mine Rude Rich. His rips sounded great so I never bothered to rip the record myself.
A (One) - I Don't Care
A (Two) - Unity
This record is listed as being released in 1990 but you can see on the cover that it was recorded live at their last concert in 1991. Either there's a misprint somewhere or these guys are capable of time travel.

Blacus - Side by Side 7" (1980)
This one is all about the B-Side which is ska/reggae but the A-side is a soul song. I didn't too much time editing the A-side because I know you won't listen to it anyway.
A - Side by Side
B - Jacamaca

Grannarna - Hissen 7" (1981)
There was a punk band in Sweden in the late 70s called Raid who needed a singer. A vocalist from a band called ÅHMHS (Åt Hell Me Hela Skiten) joined and brought his guitarist with him forming a new band called Grannarna Klagar (Complaining Neighbor). They played hardcore noisy punk but eventually started experimenting with ska, reggae, disco, and funk.
They shortened their name to Grannarna before recording this single and the band broke up shortly after it was released. It didn't become very well known outside of their local scene. Maybe that's because whenever the band was asked about their record they lied about the title of the record and the songs which they later admitted wasn't the greatest marketing strategy.
They attempted several times to regroup but it never happened.
This is the only studio recording the band ever made but you can hear some of their live songs as well as some songs from drummer Kari Sjoblom's side projects HERE.
A - Hissen
B - Olle
Olle is a cautionary song about drugs, and Hissen has something to do with an elevator.

The Shriners
The Shriners from Provo, Utah were sometimes called The Shriners of Ska. They played intense upbeat ska that appealed to fans of the 2 Tone sound as well as those who liked more of a third wave ska-punk style.
The Shriners of Ska LIVE! (1996)
1 Dancehall Ska
2 Metro North
3 Rise Up
4 Rude Bwoy on the Run
The Shriners - Finally Got a Cushman (1996)
1 Metro N
2 Rise Up
3 Dance Hall Ska
4 Juanitas
5 Barbara Mae
6 Rude Boy on the Run
*untitled live instrumental
All four songs on the tape are on the CD but the ones on the tape are live and the ones on the CD are studio versions. The spellings of some of the song titles vary between the two so I spelled them the way they are on each release.

I'm selling my music - super cheap
Short story short - I'm selling my music. All of it. Not because I want to, but because I have to.
I hate selling on eBay and I don't have time to post anything so my wife has been putting everything up. She's handling all of the communications.
It may take a few months to put it all up so keep checking back. Everything is going up with a low starting bid - even that one record that ten of you contacted me about that nobody wanted to pay for. It's up for $5.00 so fight amongst yourselves.
Shipping will be combined. I'm not trying to make a profit off of shipping. If I overcharge I usually refund the difference if it's a reasonable amount.
The good thing about all of this is I'm coming across things that I forgot I had. I've been ripping everything like mad. I don't have time to listen to it or edit any of it right now. When time allows I will post as much as I can on either blog.
I have to consider whether or not it's realistic to keep the blogs going at this time. Even if I have to quit I probably have enough things already ripped to keep going about another year. A lot can happen in a year so I might just pick up where I left off or put it on hold for a while. Who knows. Let's see what happens.
Here's the link. This is just the beginning - lots more to come.

Rude Agents - Heaven in the Sky 7" (1996)
This was an Italian band who never really released anything aside from this one single and a song on a compilation called Skandalo Al Sole - 13 Antinazi Songs from Italia. I have included that song with this download.
Publiqué esto en una página de Facebook hace unos meses. Esa fue una versión terrible. Si descargaste esa, vas a querer eliminarla y obtener esta versión - es mucho mejor. Además, hay otra canción que no se incluyó en la otra.
A - Heaven in the Sky
B - Meritrice
* - Wasting Time

Mock Turtle Soup - Sticky as a Tree Frog (1996)
Punk/funk/ska band from Connecticut who released two cassettes and this CD.
They had a two song promo from 1995 stating "Two songs from our CD due out in early 1996!" and, as you probably guessed, both songs are on this CD.
But before that they released a demo tape which I have never seen before in real life. I have no idea what's on it.

2 Sizzle Rivet
3 The Lemming Condition
4 Stop Talking

8 Fantastic Mr. Fox
