Fookin ace band, but stuff is hard to come by these days.

Managed to download their version of Don't Talk Just Kiss, which you may remember was originally sung by Al and Rocket.....and which I have on the FRED EP on cassette which is in the loft somewhere.

I cannae find "A Better Life" which was released about 94 I think, can anyone help with this? If memory serves it was a limited edition. And just to push my luck a wee bit further, I am also after the Weatherall version of Weekender and It's On Sonia.

I definitely need one of them record player to mp3 thingies :D

My initial response was simply one word, wank. Hangers on, nothing more.:)

I only have the 7 & 12" records and album. But I've found a complete Discography here :

If you can sort us out with any copies of the CD singles - I will make it worth yer while amigo

As soon as I heard Phobia (on the Chart Show I think) I was hooked. The album is the dogs bollocks, my mate Mark stole the album off me years ago and proceeded to lose it, thankfully Jarvo sorted me out with a CD copy, so getting the rest of the stuff on CD would be sound as fuck.

horrible band. They were even worse than Northside, which is no small feat.

Never hear of 'em. They ain't even on youtube, or amazon (with song samples, anyway) so I can't even give them a listen and tell you if they truly are crap or not.

Many happy memories of house parties whenever ma nan and Grandad used to go on holiday. Mini Madchester from Farmstead Road Corby :D

I have their PSV DVD and the Weekender video - but the quality is pretty gash, I think the lad's video recorder must've been playing up that sent me it.

I LIKE BIG FRENCH ONES!

I only found two. 'Phobiaarrrr' seems to have done a runner. Got Weekender (1 track single - grr), and 'Its On/Egg Rush', which has 'Take It' live on two.

I think I had Its On Sonia too, but it was on an NME freebie or something similar. :scratch:

Cheers BRF - The version you sent was the 12" version of It's On. I have sent you an email requesting the other tracks if that came from a CD Single. Muchos Gracias amigo.

BR - I have Weekender and now have the 12" of It's On. If you have any joy finding anything else, please gies a shout.

Cheers lads, if I can help with anything, just mail me

If noone else sorts you out and you can wait a while Shug, I may be able to dig something out - the tracks you mention ring a bell, not sure about the mixes, but are almost certainly at my parents'... If I remember next time I'm back there, I'll have a look... As Johnny said, WEE-KENDER! :nod:
