Scatterbrains - Do Best! (2000)

  I made THIS POST in February 2023 for the band Scatterbrains from Switzerland and I mentioned that they had an EP that I do not have.

I have it now and this is that EP.

Sadly, there's no ska on it. Ska influence, but not real ska. 

Oh well. If you have the other two albums you will want this to complete the collection.

 

1 I Can't Get No Sleep

2 Walking in the Sunshine

3 Jerk

4 Pretty Baby

5 Without You

Spider Babies - Monster Mash 7" (1984)

 This is not ska. The B-side is hard rock and I think people who like old Bon Scott era AC-DC would like it. (I never said they sound like AC-DC, I just said that AC-DC fans would like it.)

The A-side is a punk/reggae cover of Bobby Pickett's Monster Mash. Actually, the whole song is punk but it begins and ends with a punk-reggae beat. 

 I don't know where this band was from but this single was issued with a cover. My record doesn't have the cover but you can see a teensy-tiny picture of the cover on Discogs. If you read the comment on this entry you'll see a band member saying that this a one-off implying that the band never released anything else.   

I don't care much for the B-side but the A-side is really good. And this record is quite rare.

A - Monster Mash

B - Bloodsuckers of the Universe

The Amateurs - Ganja Man is Coming to Town (1992)

 

This was a reggae band from Raleigh, North Carolina and from what I have gleaned from the comments on YouTube this song got some radio play and was considered a Christmas classic by some.
