I have everything by Special Guests and I have posted more of their stuff in the past but I was asked to take it down because the band is still performing and most of their music is still available for sale through their official site but I am posting this - their first release - because, as I see it, it isn't currently available anywhere.

"The blog joescholes.com is a documentation of getting together the songs for a new live set and a new album. I'm also willing to include a whole bunch of other stuff, as thoughts about how spreading Ska Music was achieved in the 80s compared to today, how the scene worked etc.. There are a lot of plans, better not to talk too much in advance ..."
A very informative site with lots of audio samples - full length songs and live cuts. If you're a fan of The Braces or Alpha Boy School you'll appreciate his site.

A Norwegian pop band.They first started out in 1982.The members were Lage Fossheim(singer)and Eivind Rølles(percussion and backing vocals). Their first huge hit, ‘Sunday People’,sold 130 000 copies in Norway.’Cheerio’ became even more popular, it sold 250 000 copies. The first release, ‘Sunday People’ reached Number 1 in the Norwegian charts in 1983 and stayed there for 7 weeks. Subsequent releases showed their staying power for well over a decade. The Band split in 1987 citing “being exhausted from 5 years of constant gigs and recording” but reformed in 1993 to land yet another hit ‘Just Another Normal Day’ that reached Number 2 for 1 week in the Norwegian charts.
As you can probably tell I am a big fan of older Australian and New Zealand ska and I have heard that there was a band in the late eighties called Jumpin' Chapaties that played ska, reggae, and jump bluesy-type music. They only released 2 singles and I was able to track down one of them. I was quite disappointed with it as neither of the two songs were ska. I wasn't going to post this but I figure some of you may appreciate it to some extent so here it is JUMPIN' CHAPATIES - 2 GOLDEN GREATS
Here's an old 7" from 1994 that I have never got around to posting because it's ska-core. As far as ska-core is concerned I'm sure this is good-great stuff but I'm not really a fan of the genre. If I remember right I think this was given to me by someone who assumed "If you like ska you'll love this!" BINGO MUT - THE MEANEST MAN EP
Here's another one that was on "Ultra Rare Ska". This time it was the b-side featured because the a-side isn't ska at all. I knew that before I bought it but I had to go and buy it anyway didn't I. The a-side sucks and I wasted money all because of my need to collect everything. Here's ALBERTO CAMERINI - SERENELLA 7"
I also wasted some money buying the Piranhas "Zambezi" 7" with the b-sides "Bouffant Blue" and "Pink Elephants" but when I received it I found it to be the other version that I already had. I got it for $2 so it's not even worth returning it. If anyone wants it they can have it. I'm still looking for the other version.
I have been looking for music by The Press for a while now. Thankfully "Music on Vinyl has posted their first one "I'm Gonna Shoot the Deejay" "I'm Gonna Shoot the Deejay / Meet the Press" 7" 1980 "Write-Off / Boys Check Your Toys" 7" 1981 "Cantara Pepe / In the Quiet of the Night" 7" 1981 "Crossing the Line / In the Quiet of the Night" 7" 1981 "Rub a Dub / Gipsy Love" 7" 1981 "Press Here" LP 1981 Here's their video for "Write Off"
Does anybody know about the band Rude Boys? Not the English Roddy Moreno band, nor the Swedish band that released this but the Scottish band seen here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBHueXx2UPk
