Planet 10 - Love's a Dream 12'' (1985)
This band was from Hollywood, California. They played reggae and power-pop and new wave type stuff.
This record is not hard to find at all. It's all over the internet.
Aside from this I think they recorded a full length in 1990. Not sure about that though.
A - Love's a Dream
B - Shelter

One Eye Open released a full length called Hellaut, a split LP with the band Schlong, and a 7" called Boobs: The Incomplete Set which are all available for free download on Very Small Records' own blog HERE
The Boobs 7" is a collection of t.v. show theme songs and commercials that was originally on cassette. There wasn't enough room for all of them on the 7" - hence "incomplete set".
