Fabulous Titans - Fabulous Titans 12" (1980)

I previously posted their 7" "Rico's Lament" but both of the songs on the single are on this EP - the same versions - so there's no need to repost the single again but I did include their unreleased single with this download.

I have a copy of this record but I cannot get a decent rip of it so the one posted here - the music and the cover scans - was contributed by Rikard.

Cassie - Change My Image 7" (1982)

This is one of those records that is sold as a ska record but the ska influence is slight. The A-side is female fronted rockin' new wave and the B-side is more rockin' than the A-side but it keeps going back-and-forth between some distorted guitar to a mellow punk-reggae sound. Both songs are good and the record is very rare and expensive. I do not have a copy myself. This download is for some low quality versions I found online.

A - Change My Image
B - Will You?
