I've always been frustrated by the shortage of two-tone era obscurities (unlike say mod or power-pop where there are bushels full of ultra-obscurities) but your site rally does fill in the gaps well. <br />I look forward to your post (don't miss out on the article on the Mystery Guest Elanor linked to above) and the link-back to here!jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-31396792063254059362009-09-13T09:54:56.453-05:002009-09-13T09:54:56.453-05:00Thanks very much for this!

I'm always searching for obscure ska tracks from the 2-Tone era and these may be the most obscure ever. Thanks again for posting.

I shall make a kerfuffle to make my presence known, haha!<br /><br />The article is on page 22 of Future Days, Issue 2. I'm not surprised you couldn't find it, the article was scanned on its side so its contents are deceptively hard to decipher. It's a great article though, certainly sheds some light on a band who completely disappeared from the annuls of time. Maybe more info will emerge eventually ? Who knows.<br /><br />Take care, keep up the great work!Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059714155210664700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-7473829933487159622009-09-08T08:10:12.111-05:002009-09-08T08:10:12.111-05:00Anon

Thanks for the always excellent feedback,...Elananor<br />Thanks for the always excellent feedback, you've been missed. <br />It is a strange venture, especially that many of these bands seemed to have winked in and out of exsistance fast, even by the standards of that era.<br />Do you know the issue and page number of the MG article. I tried searching the two.pdf's and couldn't find it (I have a bad thing with .pdf's it's true.)<br />Hmmm I really love all the ska bands (the other two not as much) but I'd have to say the Mystery Guests win out in the 'band who shoulda made album' contest.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-12920997296382040502009-09-08T00:02:29.631-05:002009-09-08T00:02:29.631-05:00Of course we've heard it - Mutant Sounds poste...Of course we've heard it - Mutant Sounds posted it ages ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-88603239324296855712009-09-07T14:57:00.923-05:002009-09-07T14:57:00.923-05:00I must tell you that this is one of my favourite m...I must tell you that this is one of my favourite mod compilations. When I googled its origins, I couldn't believe that it had Christian links. I was so thoroughly confuzzled by the whole venture. Still, it hardly detracts from my love of Mystery Guests. I love Take a Look at Yourself so much I will feature it in my next podcast.<br /><br />I must also tell you that I came across an article about Mystery Guests in the Future Days Fanzine from 1980, accessible on the Bristol Archive Records website: http://www.bristolarchiverecords.com/people/fanzine_future_days.html <br /><br />The write up is stupidly hilarious:<br /><br /><i>With tactics such as masquerading as other bands on the same bill, advertising hoax concerts and releasing fake publicity, the Mystery Guests obviously come in for a good deal of criticism.<br /><br />"Yes." Sighed spokeswoman Betty Wayne, toying with a white throat.</i><br /><br />Great stuff. Who is your favourite artist from the compilation, jeffen??Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059714155210664700noreply@blogger.com
