Mad Jacks - Weeping Wind
Rare, hard to find record from Mad Jacks, released in 1989 on Creed Records. After this debut single they released two more records "Feel The Hit (1990)" and "Get To That (1991)". Special thanks to Jim for sending me copy of this single, together with other great 12" vinyl rips from his amazing vinyl records collection.

The Charlatans - Crashin' In
The Soup Dragons - One Way Street
THE SOUP DRAGONS
One Way Street
1994 Mercury
Final single from The Soup Dragons and one of their best, taken from the album "Hydrophonic". I think that at this period Sean Dickson was only member of the band because other members quits at the middle of recording sessions of "Hydrophonic". Motherfunker is remixed by David Hedger and Lindsay Edwards from Innersphere, techno band who released few singles and one album on Sabrettes label.
