Monkey Business - Mistakes 7" (1991)

A - Mistakes

B - Keep on Walking

* - Opportunities

I posted this single in the early days of Tone and Wave but this is a new rip that sounds way better than the old one and I included another song that wasn't in the old post.

Steady Earnest - Steady Earnest (1993)

This is Steady Earnest's demo tape but every song on this tape appeared on their self-titled album. The exact same recordings. So, if you have their first album you don't need to download this tape unless you want it for the artwork.

Rare British ska from a local band who self-released their only album/demo on CD-R that they recorded at home. Talk about lost potential.

Lunacy. If the name "Madness" wasn't already taken it would be a fitting name for these folks. Crazy British ska with some violin here and there. Erratic but intelligent. Experimental ska that's not wanton or frivolous.

I previously posted one of their releases HERE but it wasn't well received. I have included that gem in with this download. It needs another chance.

It's peanut butter jelly time (but how long will it last?)

All of the old re-up posts are gone and the new requests are available.

Zippyshare will no longer be in service effective the end of March 2023 so if you are unable to use MEGA but you can use Zippyshare you might want to download everything you can before the end of the month.

If anybody knows of a file sharing site similar to Zippyshare let me know. I have a couple in mind but the aggressive advertising makes them hard to use. Is there an easy-to-use free file sharing site that you know of?

Last Orders - Who Do You Turn To? (1993)

One of the great lost ska albums. Last Orders were from Norfolk U.K. (Great Yarmouth region) and were a driving force in the mod/scooter movement in the early 90s.

This album has been lost to the sands of time but it needs to be heard. If you have a YouTube channel or any other social media site please share this album with everybody. Put it put there. Let them get the attention that they deserve.

The title of this post was inspired by the Skankin' Pickle song "You Shouldn't Judge a Man". The quadratic formula is usually sung to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel".

This is your last chance to download what you need from Re Ups / Re Posts. Next weekend I'm obliterating all links to make room for new re-ups. I know I said I was going to do so in the past but I have three good reasons for not having done it yet:

1. no time

2. I'm lazy

3. I'm sad to see those links go for such great music and I want as many people in the world a chance to get it before I cut the cord

For all of you who requested re-ups in the last few weeks I want you to know that I have seen your requests and I intend to honor all of them that have been made so far. It takes time because I don't have all of my past posts saved to MP3 and I have to re-rip some things. Check the re-ups page next weekend.

If you have any re-upload requests that I haven't fulfilled in the past, now is the time. What do you want re-posted? Get your requests in.

Does anybody know what this song is and/or what band does it?

(If you have the correct answer I'll send you a rare ska CD of your choice!)
