The Spectres - 22nd April 1981, Champagne, Illinois, USA

Blow my own trumpet time- on this blog I pride myself on giving you lot as much as possible, in the best quality (where possible), I give you the stuff that everyone has & the stuff that only some people have. I give you something thats easy to find & something that's hard to find.
Today I'm proud to give you all something that's bloody impossible to find - A Spectres live bootleg.

This was donated to the blog by that man Marky Dread & the artwork is his as well. I didnt even know that that any Spectres live bootlegs existed until he dropped this little gem in my email inbox.

OK- I admit its not the greatest of quality, but it's more than listenable & it's as rare as chickens teeth (or Rocking Horse poo- whichever you prefer)
Take it for what it is & enjoy the music.

The Spectres - The Singles

First of all I must apologise. I snatched this download of another blog quite some time ago & I honestly cant remember where from. So thanks goes out to the original supplier (whoever you are). This is a download containing the 2 x 7'' singles released by Glen Matlock's The Spectres - again these are no longer commercially available. I had a bit of a soft spot for this outfit. They came along in a period of my life when I fiist started to really be interested in music outside of the punk/reggae scene that I was involved in at the time. To this day I thank Glen Matlock for broadening my horizons.

Tracks:
01 Stories (October 1980)
02 Things (B-side October 1980)
03 Strange Effect (May 1980 - limited to 5000 copies)
04 Getting Away With Murder (B-Side May 1980)
