Old Vinyl (Continued)

 

Various - Mashed Punks

Thought about calling this selection "Sacrilege" as it didn't seem right to be using classic punk/new wave tunes in a dance orientated way, but from the first one I heard GHP's "Ray of Gob" I quickly changed my opinion Mark Vidler had made such a good job of it that I ended up searching for more.
Sort of lost interest when it became a bit more professional, so most of these are from about 5 years back and are mostly rough and ready mashes.
All have a punk/new wave link so hopefully you'll like them too.
I've credited the mash artist (in brackets) where I can remember them.

Pete Shelley - No One Like You

Following this loose theme of songs by Punk/New Wave band members here's a solo from the Buzzcocks frontman Pete Shelley, great tune.
He released quite a few solo singles and albums but none really troubled the chart? which just goes to show a lot of people have no taste :-)

A - (Millions Of People) No One Like You
B - If You Ask Me (I Won't Say No)

VA - Last Of The High Kings

Short but quality tracklist on this movie soundtrack.
Have to admit to never having seen the film, and before I picked this up I hadn't heard of it either.
The Michael Convertino tracks are film dialogue.

02 - Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town
03 - Buzzocks - Ever Fallen In Love
04 - Elvis Costello - Watching The Detectives
05 - Dr Feelgood - Milk And Alcohol
06 - Tom Robinson - 2 4 6 8 Motorway
07 - Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes
08 - Michael Convertino - Thunder
09 - Ash - Oh Yeah
10 - Mink De Ville - Spanish Stroll
11 - Gallagher And Lyle - Heart On My Sleeve
12 - Michael Convertino - Can't Take Your Eyes Off This Place For 1 Minute
13 - Thin Lizzy - Dancing In The Moonlight
14 - Ace - How Long

Various - Loud Proud and Punk

Another punk compilation, 16 tracks all from the right era this time with the exception of the NY Dolls track.
Mainly picked this up to get a decent copy of "Holiday in Cambodia" which I only had on tape before.
Nice choice of tracks and probably worth the £3.99 I paid for it.







01 - The Jam Eton Rifles
02 - Sham 69 Borstal Breakout
03 - New York Dolls Personality Crisis
04 - Buzzcocks Harmony In My Head
05 - The Damned Love Song
06 - The Adverts Gary Gilmore's Eyes
07 - Stiff Little Fingers Alternative Ulster
08 - The Undertones Get Over You
09 - The Only Ones Lovers Of Today
10 - Eddie and The Hot Rods Teenage Depression
11 - The Vibrators Automatic Lover
12 - The Adicts Love Sucks
13 - Uk Subs C.I.D
14 - Angelic Upstarts Police Oppression
15 - Dead Kennedys Holiday In Cambodia
16 - Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers Roadrunner

Various - Sound Of The Suburbs

The cover says 20 New Wave hits from the 70's and 80's and it's true the tracks are from those decades, but not sure if some of the tracks are really new wave?
Still it's a pretty good collection of tunes including a few compilation standards and some that rarely get a mention.
I think Lou Reed got star billing as his "Perfect day" remake was riding high in the charts at the time.
