Åsa - Battle Of The Bands: Oss vs Shas (Sweden, 1980)
Two bands from the small town of Åsa (not far from Göteborg) both recorded EPs in 1980. Both are quite rare, especially Shas. It didn't sell well and the story is that the band members threw all the unsold ones from a bridge. One of the songs from the Oss EP (Falska Rykten) was included on the Killed By Death #50 compilation of Swedish rarities. I like both of these records, although another band from Åsa (Glo) is perhaps the best from there.
Oss - Falska rykten / Hubba hubba // Vi gör som vi vill / Jag vill vara fri EP (Bandit F 123, 1980) Shas - Thinner / En idiots dröm // Kommer inte längre / Nojan EP (Iemaj 003, 1981) (label says 1981 though it was recorded in 1980)

Ha! I was just about to rip the Shas E.P. and post a link to your post of the 57 Kez 7" as they're both on many swe collectors want list, but you were faster than me on Shas. I posted Oss over at www.kbdrecords.com about a year ago, but it's always nice to see another post of it as it rarely shows up.
All of the Divshare audio links are dead. I haven't yet decided what, if anything, to do about it.

Welcome!
We will focus on rare and /or obscure records from the 1975 - 1985 period. There may be punk, "new wave", powerpop, rock or whatever else we might find interesting. If anyone has any issues with any items posted here just contact us and any links will be removed. The intention is provide difficult to hear music for preview purposes ... listen before you buy (if you can find it)! Contact: girlsfromtahiti at gmail dot com.
My Want List
Any good obscure punk/powerpop (especially Swedish, Swiss and Finnish) that I don't have such as:
CANADIAN DEMO/LIVE RECORDINGS - anything from The Unknowns, Zro4, The Negatives, Stark Naked and The Fleshtones, Extroverts, Airborne, Pat Bay and The Malahats, Sikphuxz, Woods Are Full Of Cuckoos, Parking Lot, etc
MASTERBEATS - Any cassette releases (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada band, early 80's)
MR. SCIENCE - Terror As Pop and any other cassettes (Canada, 1980s)
NILP - Dark Side Of Nilp cassette (Switzerland, c1983)
I'm mainly interested in punk and powerpop records and bands from 1977 - 1983 along with some synth/electronic things as well. I'm particularly interested in bands from Sweden, Switzerland and Finland, although if it is good it doesn't matter where it is from. If you have some obscurity that you think I might be interested in, drop me an email. If you're looking to hear something in particular, ask and I may have it. Contact me at: girlsfromtahiti at gmail dot com.
