I decided to post this one after the post by Punk Business Manager of the excellent Ljud från Friberga LP. There was some discussion of this record in the comments and the feeling was that it sucked. Now you can listen and decide yourself. This 7" and the 2 tracks on Ljud från Friberga are all that they released. They changed their name to Mörbyligan and released a bunch of records from 1978 through 1986.
Chilly Chimes - Join The Army / Let Me Inside 7" (AB02, 1975)
Rather than getting into a musical critique, let me just place this music to a time and place where it may have just been weird and cool enough to have charted #1! By chance opportunity I lived in Arkansas (1976 -1981) and this fits handsomely in with the Southern rockers of that area and time. Those were some dynamite party years with the Harley boys from just over the border, wild chicks, and loose times. This tune would have been at the top of any hoedown playlist or a Harley swap meet in prefect form. Don’t underestimate his one as it hits the nail square on head in those circles. The raunchy lyrics are prefect and the music is right on for underground Southern swamp rock. When I stumbled on it just recently, it landed in my favorites and then repeated for several hours because it was so haughtily familiar. For me when a tune can illuminate distant memories with same thrill its dynamite and I loved it. If anything is disappointing – it’s the fact someone sat on it and didn’t release it where it would have been a killer, wild party tune!
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.
