Local Operator - Pushing Out the Poets (1980)

Photobucket

Local Operator was a punk/powerpop band from Copenhagen Denmark that frequently played ska-influenced music. They recorded 2 singles in 1979 and one LP in 1980 before breaking up. Bandleader Joe Broadbery later formed Jo Broadbery and the Standouts and recorded 1 more LP before he died in 1987.
People in the know may correct me here by saying that Jo Broadbery and the Standouts recorded 2 albums but Local Operator's only LP is the exact same record as The Standout's. Different band name, different cover art, same titles, same order, same exact recordings. The only difference is the song on the Local Operator LP is "Put You in a Exile" while on the other version it is "Put You in Exile" The "a" didn't sound right anyway. For whatever reason the Local Operator back cover has fictitious band members listed.
This download includes the back cover and you can find the first Standouts album HERE so you can compare for yourself.

This download includes both singles:

A - Pressure Zone
B - The Untouchables

A - Law and Order
B - All We're Gonna Get

1 The One That Got Away
2 Put You in a Exile
3 Animal Games
4 Mumbo Man
5 Out of the Real
6 Temptation
7 Footsteps in the Dark
8 In Disguise

10 Love is a Conspiracy

DOWNLOAD

If you want to complete the collection here's Joe Broadbery and the Standouts second album THE HOUSE OF LOVE. There was a single released under the same name but it was "Put You in Exile b/w Footsteps in the Dark" both of which are on the album.

Clive Langer and the Boxes - Splash!

I have a 'wishlist' of things I am looking for and this album has teetered right around the top of that list for a long time. In June when I was without a computer I knew I had to save money to get a new one and that meant not spending money on music but I did come across a few things that I couldn't pass up. One was this album, one was "Skankin' Round the World vol.4" and then there were some Piranhas 7-inches. I knew I couldn't afford them all so the one thing that I did not get was Skankin' Round the World. This is one of those things I will forever regret.
Now that I have these great vinyls to rip and a new computer to rip them on my usb record player has decided to stop working. I know the new computer isn't the problem because it recorded the Sax Maniax album just fine.
I am still able to share this album however because, lo and behold, it has already been posted on another blog called Music...isms.
It's good to have the original, but damn, if only I had searched for it first I could have gotten Skankin' Round the World vol.4 instead and still have this as well.

The covers for the album and the "It's All Over Now" single were created by Barney Bubbles and they all had the 5-pointed crown...

...which Madness has recently begun using as their own symbol.

Clive Langer has also produced Elvis Costello, Morrisey, Dexy's Midnight Runners, They Might Be Giants, The Teardrop Explodes, and more as well as having been in Deaf School, Big In Japan, and Bette Bright and the Illuminations (The Boxes basically were The Illuminations).
And, yes, he did produce The Liberty of Norton Folgate. HERE'S his site.

Beat Direction was a post punk/mod band from Montreal, Canada (not the UK as I have previously posted). This is their only release. It's from 1984 and it has one ska song "Dream Girl", but they did have another song called "Ska-Au-Go-Go" that was on a very rare comp from 1985 called "The Cutting Edge". It was also put out on a flexi in 1985 in an issue of the mod fanzine "In The Crowd" with the mod band Squire.

The Farm - double feature

This is the first two releases by The Farm - the band from Liverpool who was well known in the nineties for the indie rock song "All Together Now". Though there was no noticeable ska influence in their later work their earlier releases were produced by Suggs himself who also managed the band for a couple years in the eighties and, although they weren't exactly ska, they fit perfectly in with the 2Tone scene.

Madness fans should appreciate these:

Hearts and Minds 12" (1984)

The Nighthawks - Skank It Up (1980)

Photobucket

This is a brilliant album that was sent to me by Andreu:

It's the Nighthawks one and only full length from 1980 but they did have 4 singles. I'm pretty sure though that all of their singles (including b-sides) are on the album. I could be wrong (although I never have been before). There was a "Belle Blue" maxi single and I cannot find what the other tracks on that are.

Guitarist/vocalist Oliver Stephan is currently playing in The Stimulators.

2 Jo'Burg Jive*
3 Johnny Too Bad
4 Shanty Town
5 Carry Go Bring Come
6 Patsy Girl
7 White Shoes

9 Blood is Thicker than Water
10 Cocktail Blues
11 Belle Blue

(link has been removed at the request of the band because they plan on re-releasing their music)

Thank you Andreu!!!

*The track "Jo'Burg Jive" has a voice at the beginning that is a tag for the editing software that was used. It's a bit annoying, but it doesn't really interfere with the song too much.

Ska-Boom!

It seems every time I have some money saved up to get a new computer my car somehow finds out about it and decides to break down so I still haven't been able to get a new computer yet - I'm hoping I will in the next 2 weeks. I am able to use a computer every now and then, but I can't rip my vinyls or use my scanner just yet.

However I did recieve an email today from your friend and mine Rikard who spent a good deal of his time ripping not only the Ska-Boom album "Lost in Ska", but all three of their singles as well.

Photobucket

The album in this download is the original 11 track from 1990 though the cover pictured here is from the 1991 re-release that included all 3 tracks from the "More Tea Vicar?" single. The cover of the original didn't have the yellow writing or the speech bubble.

The Villains - Go Crazy & Life of Crime

Photobucket

There was an old vaudevillian joke that wasn't funny to begin with and can now be found in numerous joke books for kids that goes:

"I can show you something that has never been seen before and, after I show you, will never be seen again!"

At that point the comedian will either peel a banana or crack open a nut and then eat it.

I feel the same applies to this cassette I just bought. It is by the Villains. Their "Life of Crime" EP is well known as a classic ska contribution, but this "Go Crazy" album falls short in so many ways.

Photobucket

The cassette I just purchased was still sealed in its original shrink wrap from 1984. This particular tape was never heard by anyone ever. I bought it for $2.
I think that after hearing it you'll see why it shouldn't be heard ever again.

I'll be honest - there are a couple of good moments, but overall this is not the sort of recording that a band such as the Villains should have ever made.

Even still, being completely unplayed for 26 years the tape has developed a hiss problem that I cannot get rid of. To be honest - the album isn't good enough that you'll want to listen to it more than a time or two so the hiss shouldn't really be a problem.
I know this sounds like I'm making fun of the band, but I'm really not. I love the "Life of Crime" EP and I have included it in this download so that you can see the difference yourself.
