Politburo - How to Disconnect Your Mind in 17,324 Lessons: Lesson One

This isn't the UK nor the Russian new wave bands called Politburo, but the French one. This single is from 1981 and I think they had an earlier single from 1980. Aside from that I know nothing else about them. The sound is more what people would call "nutty" music - not punk. The b-side has a noticable ska sound but both songs are equally good.

The Newmatics - demo tape

There was a band in the late seventies / early eighties called The Newmatics in Auckland New Zealand and there was a band from Leicester UK from that same era also called the Newmatics that had members that were later part of Ska-Boom.
Then, in the late eighties / early nineties there was a band in (or near) London called The Newmatics. This is their demo tape from 1991. They sound quite like the Riffs. They fit in perfectly with all the Unicorn and Skank bands. I wonder how they were overlooked.

Local Operator - Pushing Out the Poets (1980)

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

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.
