The Limit – Please Please Me 7″

limit_please_cover.jpgAn awesome punked up version of some old 60′s classic. The b-side is their own number and is a great tune too but dosen’t beat the cover. But who where The Limit? I’ve heard rumours they’ve later became The Dark. My World At Night is composed by Barron Rocca and both tracks is produced by John Springate if this is some help for anybody to give me more info on this mystery release. I’ve seen this record twice and I don’t know if it was properly released?

Unter den Linden – Motstand i lader E.P. 7″

unter_mostand.jpgOne of the best swedish HC bands ever. Way underrated or maybe just forgotten because they refused to wear the punk “uniform”? Their mix of dark gloomy punk(Motstand i lader) and straightforward HC(Fat Boys and Little Boys) with clever lyrics make them one of Swedens most unique punk bands. For those of you who appreciate Missbrukarna and other high quality swedish HC/Punk Rock. This is their second 7inch.

Toys – Go To The Police 7″

toys_police.jpgThe UK release came without a sleeve. The German and this French pressing had different sleeves. Enough geeky info and over to what this post is all about: two killer(how many times is that word used in here?) punk/powerpop tracks. If these tracks dosen’t make you shake some ass then go check your head(or maybe your ass in case you got something up there that shouldn’t be there).

The Trainspotters – High Rise 7″

trainspotters_high_rise.jpgMike Read a DJ at BBCs Radio 1 is the genious behind one of my top 10 songs from 1979: High Rise. So catchy it hurts. The b-side is not catchy at all. Stay tuned for their second 7inch to be posted. “In 1979, recording as The Trainspotters, Read released “High Rise”, a single based on his Mike Read, Mike Read, 275 & 285, Mike Read, Mike Read, National-Radio-1 radio show jingle.
