Catchup Squad - Dutch Duck on Parade (2003)

 This was a female-fronted Unicorn-style ska band from the Netherlands who didn't release much in their short time as a band. I think this is it but I hope I'm wrong. 

I had this since about 2005 and I never had a front cover for it. I have looked for an image and found a thumbnail that I tried to make bigger and ran it through a filter and now it looks god-awful.

Skaloot [Denmark]

 This band was from Denmark. They were active to some degree from the mid 90s to, at least, 2007 but it doesn't seem like they released very much in that time. 

 This is what I have by them: a 3-song tape, possibly demo tape, from 1995 that was more punk than their other releases. And one CD that is titled "Our Danish Collection" but it is a CD-R sold by the band and it includes both of their EPs.  With this CD I have high quality music from both of their CD EPs but I still have "Great Danes of Ska" in my wantlist on Discogs only for the CD artwork. I have looked for the cover to their first CD for years. I have only been able to find a thumbnail which I have blown up into this blurry mess you see here.

va Cable Street Beat Presents - Have Fun, Fight Fascism (1999)

 

I'm too lazy right now to type out the whole tracklist so here it is:

I think just about all of these tracks can be found on other releases but I'm pretty sure the Rare 'N' Tasty song is only available on this comp.

Time Circle - Give all the Praise 7" (1982)

 I know nothing about this band. This is probably their only release. It's laid back ska/reggae.  

My copy doesn't sound very good. I was able to edit the A-side enough to make it listenable but it's still very crackly.  The B-side is just too far gone.

 

A - Give all the Praise

B - Give all the Praise (Dub Version)

The Fentons - demo tape (1994)

 The Fentons were a short-lived ska band from Manchester. I don't know if they ever released anything aside from this, but this demo tape has three ska tunes and one other song called Mother & Me which is not exactly ska but it became their most popular song after it appeared on the Do the Dog compilation called Mad Dogs and English Gentlemen.

There were five members in the band:

Barbie

Bernie

Bez

Firkin

and "Larry"
