Another collection of odds and ends, mostly from Canada with some other things thrown in. 1981 seems to be a popular year this time.
NOTE: No downloads for now. Maybe later.
Elan (Canada [Penticton, BC] - 1980)
2 songs from their only release, a 4 song 7" EP. The other 2 songs are totally different and not recommended.
Singles (Canada [Calgary, AB], c1981)
Taken from the "Rocky Mountain Magic" compilation LP. Everything else on the LP sucks but I'd really like to hear anything else the Singles recorded.
Prodigy (Canada [Regina, SK], 1981)
Taken from the "Saskatchewan Seeds" compilation LP.
Straitjackets (Canada [Montreal, QC], 1981)
Taken from the "L'esprit '81 CHOM" compilation LP.
Thomas King (USA [San Diego, CA], 1982)
Humanist Advent Concept (Canada [Laval, QC], 1976)
A side of their second 7".
A.J. Nobes (Canada [Drumheller, AB], early 70's?)
Taken from the LP "It's A Matter Of Time" by A.J. Nobes & His Country Mistics. The cover says "Mistics", the labels say "Mystic's".Typical small town band that played weddings, parties, etc. Dig the mistic organ!
Magnum (Canada [Montreal, QC], 1981)
Taken from the "L'esprit '81 CHOM" compilation LP.
Hourglass (Canada [Yarmouth, NS], late 70's?)
Taken from the "As Luck Would Have It" LP. Maybe worth the price I paid (someone gave it to me)?
Friday (Canada [Montreal, QC], 1981)
Taken from the "L'esprit '81 CHOM" compilation LP.
Howard Brook Band (Canada [Carleton County, NB], 1981)
Found this one in a dollar bin and the only reference I could find online for it was a list selling it for $110 with the following description: "early 80's Canadian release of excellent Folk-Rock album spiced
w/jammed-up Anglo-Folk tapestries executed in a laid-back,
West-Coast-Sound vybed way w/acoustic/electric guitars, mandolin,
banjo, fiddle ...and excellent femme back-ups; tasty lead licks on the
outstanding "I choose"; all original material and no hanger in the
bag; sound-scape is of that mid-70's nature, production maintains
natural colors, sleeve is a cool photo showin' a vintage mercury
parked out in the green by the riverside".
Scoop (Canada [Montreal, QC], 1981)
Taken from the "L'esprit '81 CHOM" compilation LP.
Orghestar (Iceland, 1982)
Taken from their 12" EP.
Utangardsmenn (Iceland, live 1982, released 1994)
From a CD of a live recording made in Stockholm.
Ronnie and His Calypso Ramblers (Bahamas)
Another dollar bin find. Add to your collection of songs that mention someone having his balls shot off with a shotgun.
S To S (Belgium, 1978)
Hard rock raer, supposedly only 100 copies made.

Great to have you back! Looking forward very much to giving this stuff a listen!
hi
there's some really interesting tracks her, thank you
are they only for listening, or are they downloadable too?
regards
What's the name of that Orghestar song ? It sounds great
The Orghestar song is called ÞEMAÞSEM. It's the only real "punk" song on the EP. The others are more "postpunk".
Thanks for that track by the Singles - is it from a demo tape? They had a track on a Calgary compilation but I'm pretty sure that this one isn't it.
The Singles track is from the Rocky Mountain Magic compilation. Too bad the rest of it is such dogshit.
The Singles appeared on a Calgary public access TV show called FM moving pictures and did a song called "Over train" OSLT.
One of the albums listed "Howard Brook Band", I played guitar and sang on. I wrote one of the songs. There weren't a lot of copies made so it would be a bit rare.
