60 Ft Dolls - The Big 3 (Expanded Edition) 2015 320๐Ÿ˜Ž

 

Track 1-1 to 1-13 taken from original album.

Track 2-1 to 2-11 taken B-sides

Track 2-12 to 2-16 taken from BBC John Peel Session - 17 February 1996 (Previously unreleased).

60ft Dolls were a rock trio from Newport, South Wales, in the style of punk / pub garage rock / power pop with a dash of mod. Their songs and approach embodied elements of The Jam and Dr. Feelgood, classic UK stripped-down guitar rock. Mike Cole and Richard Parfitt were originally introduced to each other in 1992 by Donna Matthews (later of Elastica), who was dating Cole at the time while also working at a pizza restaurant with Parfitt. The group released two albums in the mid-nineties and supported the Sex Pistols at that group's comeback gig in Finsbury Park in 1996 before splitting in 1998.

Eton Crop – Peel Sessions 1983-1988 (2016) @320


 


* Eton Crop were an indie / post punk band formed in 1979 in Nieuwkoop, Netherlands, and released a total of 12 singles and four albums over the next 15 years. Frequent visitors to the UK, they toured with many of the "pre-C86" groups like The Membranes and The Three Johns, the latter with whom they shared a not too dissimilar musical approach. While many groups from that era downed tools towards the end of the decade, Eton Crop battled on into the mid-nineties, their last full length album, Get Real!, appearing (on cd) in 1992, eventually bowing out in 1994 with the 4 track ep Everybody. The band later changed their name to the E.C. Groove Society and started producing techno music until 2003. Recently the band reformed under Eton Crop and performed in Stockton, Teesside, UK at the Peel Regenerated Festival in 2014. *

* Despite the BBC logo on the back cover, this is not a BBC release. It was assembled by the band and sold through Bandcamp, with a limited vinyl pressing of 300 copies. The tracks are numbered sequentially. The band recorded 5 BBC sessions in total. *

Datblygu – The Peel Sessions 1987 - 1993 (2008) @320


 


* Datblygu (Welsh pronunciation: [datหˆblษ™ษกi] meaning "develop" or "developing") are an experimental Welsh rock group formed in 1982. They are regarded as a catalyst of the new wave of Welsh rock in the early '80s. *

* The band was formed in by vocalist David R. Edwards and instrumentalist T. Wyn Davies in 1982 while they were at Ysgol Uwchradd in Aberteifi, with instrumentalist Patricia Morgan joining in 1984.Edwards' lyrics were almost entirely in the Welsh language, the subject matter reflecting his "extreme disillusionment" with life in Wales in the early 1980s era under Margaret Thatcher. After four cassette-only releases on Casetiau Neon, the band had their first vinyl release in 1987 on Anhrefn Records, with the Hwgr-Grawth-Og EP featuring just Edwards and Morgan, which was picked up by John Peel and led to a session being recorded for his BBC Radio 1 show (the first of five such sessions). While Welsh radio gave the band little airplay, they also found an outlet through Geraint Jarman's Fideo 9 television show on S4C. The band's first album, Wyau (Eggs), was released in 1988, and was followed two years later with Pyst (Posts) on the Ofn label. Davies left in 1990 and the group continued as a duo for a while, before being augmented by a series of musicians, notably drummer Al Edwards. Moving to Ankst Records, the Christmas-themed Blwch Tymer Tymor cassette was issued in 1991. Edwards collaborated with Tลท Gwydr and Llwybr Llaethog on the 1992 album LL.LL v T.G. MC DRE, before releasing a final Datblygu album in 1993 with Libertino.After a single, "Alcohol"/"Amnesia" in 1995, the band split up. *

The Flaming Stars – The Six John Peel Sessions (2000) @320


 



Enjoy, Reb ๐Ÿ˜Ž Link ๐Ÿ‘‡ 

The Flaming Stars - John Peel session 19.02.02 (2024) @320


 

Hailing from the rather more literate side of Camden’s garage-punk scene in the mid-90s, The Flaming Stars were Peel favourites over the years, recording no fewer than EIGHT sessions for the legendary DJ.

Six of them were collected on a Vinyl Japan CD at the turn of the century – but this fantastic final session is one of two never released before (both are shared here on Vibes today).  And what a session it is, featuring the brilliant ‘Cash 22’ (should’ve been a single!) and the noir vision of ‘Killer In The Rain’.  

I will post the double CD of the other 6 sessions today!! 


Enjoy, Reb ๐Ÿ˜Ž Link ๐Ÿ‘‡ 

The Flaming Stars - John Peel session 17.10.96 (2024) @320


 

A rarity among Peel sessions in the mid-1990s as this one went out entirely live when the legendary DJ was sitting in for Mark Radcliffe and invited garage-punk stalwarts The Flaming Stars in to do the honours.

Never before released in any format, this outing at the BBC’s Oxford Road studios in Manchester finds the band in blistering form with a four-song blast featuring stunning versions of early singles ‘Ten Feet Tall’ and ‘Bury My Heart at Pier 13’.
