Punk and New Wave thread.

I think we're starting to clutch at personal straws here now lads, (mine included) It's a pretty good top 20 IMO. Not much room for owt else really, but that's just my opinion.

Having said that, I've just thought of this track.... It's helped me out a few times over the years so fuck you Hitsville, this has taken your place...

Cracking track mate from a rare as fuck single. I heard they were from Salford but it doesn't matter. My mate owned the single and I'd not heard it for about 30 years. After searching it on YouTube several times it turned up. I could of kissed whoever uploaded it, felt so happy hearing it again. And also the excellent flip side Attack.... Enjoy mate: )

Great release that. Never heard it before but very 1979 sounding :)

Yes indeed mate. There was a great underground market on Market Street, and in there was a stall called Discount Records. They used to display 7" single covers, coloured vinyl and picture discs on the walls.

John Peel show was one of the few ways(if not only way back then) to get to hear some of the stuff sold there.

My mate took a punt on the double A side single by Armed Force, and I think I read somewhere they only pressed 500 singles.

Also bought a 12" EP by the band V2 for a bargain 50p! I put it on here if you scroll back to near the beginning of the thread.

Was gonna ask you if it was a double-a side.like the no frills sleeve too.
I remember a record shop in the underground market late 80s .used to love nipping there before home matches.don't think its the one you mention ..run by a woman-bit of a collector's place with rare stuff up behind the stall.would often take my place in the Kippax with a record bag in tow. ...not a good idea really....

I recall the women, tall and slim, blonde.. A few years after the underground closed I took the kids to Blackpool for the day and ended up in an arcade type building with different stall holders inside. And there she was! Seemed happy to be remembered from the Underground market. This would have been mid to late 90's

V2 were a great Manchester band

Their Speed Freak EP is a cracking piece from 78 , think a couple of the lads from the band were from Audenshaw ? ?
Man in a box also another top tune ,

Great memories of the punk stall in the underground market ......

Yes at least one was from Audenshaw , Mark Stanley , who was involved in a Smiths documentary a few years ago. I saw it well before it came out as my mum knew his mum.
I think one of V2 is no longer with us.
Speaking of that , one of the Drones passed the other day.
