Music Shit / IDBI 7", some kinda Destroy All Monsters connection: forgot, help!

« on: March 20, 2017, 12:03:32 PM »

I've had a brain fade. There was an IDBI-related single in 1979 - the band was quite possibly managed by DAM manager David Keeps - but I can't remember the artist/title. The band's name was something *like* 'Terminal Cheesecake'. Or maybe something with 'Strawberry' in it. The sleeve was (I think) some kinda colourful collage. I have it, that I know; I just don't know what it is. Can anyone help, please?

Music Shit / Thundertrain

Anyone here got the skinny on the various "Hot For Teacher" pressings? I have two:
(1) - white/red label, with thin-paper p/s which says '3rd pressing'
(2) - black/silver label, with card p/s which adds a UK 'Bizzarre Record Distribution' credit

Both are US pressings (JELLY003, mastered at Sterling).

So: is (2) the first or second pressing? Or is it in fact a FOURTH pressing (just for the UK?)?

Cheers,
Steve

Music Shit / emusic, itunes

Just been reading that Lookout thread and it made me wonder: is there a way to see how many downloads a particular title has received? Or is that info only available to the label/'rights holder'?

Cheers,

Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / ebay: Tunnelrunners 7"

« on: June 11, 2010, 10:01:03 AM »

There's a Tunnelrunners 7" on eBay right now from seller modboy1. First time I've seen one for sale for a while.
http://cgi.ebay.com/TUNNELRUNNERS-rare-1980-UK-PUNK-POWER-POP-KBD-/330440659545?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Records&hash=item4cefcc5259

Fantastic record, and so far - although already not cheap, obviously - it's still a steal. Worth keeping an eye on.

Music Shit / Liquid Stone

« on: May 17, 2010, 12:58:36 AM »

Somebody at the BBC is 'avin' a larf. In last night's "Worried About The Boy" drama about Boy George, there was a scene with him sitting in a pub in 1981 and, on the wall, there was a poster for a Liquid Stone gig.

That's some playfulness from some KBD-clued set-designer, right? Anyone know more, who, etc?

Music Shit / Ramones / Paley Bros "Come On Let's Go"

« on: February 15, 2010, 06:37:32 AM »

I have a UK white-label 'remixed version' of the single, which has no count-in and is the same as the version on the "R&R High School" LP. I also have a German copy of the single, which does have the count-in, and is the same as on the Paleys LP.

I don't have the 'normal' UK single (dunno why not!) and my question is: is this the same as the German edition?

(That remix was a good idea, gotta say, cos the original is all over the shop...).

Anyone, please?

Music Shit / Velvets "Loop" used on BBC trailer

« on: January 11, 2010, 11:43:48 AM »

By now, we're kinda used to Velvets tracks showing up all over mainstream telly, but now I notice that the BBC are currently using "Loop", from the Aspen flexi, in the trailer for their new "A History Of The World" show.

Blimey.

Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / Icelandic (Norwegian?) Stereolab-ish new band

« on: August 15, 2009, 07:21:43 AM »

Heard bits of it today. Not bad for something recorded after 1982. Lead is sung by both a bloke and a bird, all in English. Tracks segue into each other. Guitar solos, distorted keyboards, motorik drumming, sections quite proggy...

It's a new album. Very new, apparently. Recorded in Norway, but I think they might be Icelandic...??

Anybody got any ideas WHO THIS IS, please?

If you have the "Mind Your Own Business" single, please can you check if it has correct A- and B- labels or if it has two B-labels?

Thanks.
