Rainy Day From You And Back Again Formed in a Scottish outpost near Aberdeen in 1979, going through the stages of new wave in the early years, A.P.B. created a much funkier sound towards the release of this single, the fourth that the band had released on local label Oily Records. After this record and […]
Public / Metamorphosis Zen / Blood Third single from this Icelandic band, a band that eventually metamorphosed into KUKL and then The Sugarcubes. All early Icelandic singles are very rare, this 12″ being no exception. Recorded in 1982, there is a slight Killing Joke feel to the sound on all these tracks, not surprisingly as Jaz […]

The younger brother to Mark Wilson of The Mob, Paul was there at the […]
Another One / Girl Casablanca / Daddy The last great All The Madmen band in my opinion, a roster of artists that had included The Mob, The Astronauts, Blyth Power and Flowers In The Dustbin amongst others. This recording got them on the label, just before the record company moved from Brougham Road, Hackney to Crucial Corner, Caledonian Road, […]

Penguin was made an ‘honest’ man after his long term girlfriend from 1994, became his bride. Bobbly Jax Bird and myself got married in Crouch End, North London on a day I will always cherish. Nice sunshine, good people from all over the world, and some more localised guests, everything going to plan. Off to Enfield, North […]
