1990 Sugarbeach Records

 

Notes :

After few years on my most wanted records list, finally i found copies of Manifeto and Sandkings singles, i hope that more records from this list will be posted on the blog, soon.

 

''Walking Backwards'' is madchester inspired single by Manifesto, track taken from their self titled album released in 1992 on Fire Records.

 

I was looking more than 10 years for this CD single from Sandkings with remixes of ''Earthwheel'', i'm very happy that i have copy in my collection to complete their discography.

Great UK indie/baggy band from Wolverhampton who released one album ''Welcome To England'' and few singles, their vocalist was Jas Mann who later formed Babylon Zoo.

Great Red Harvest second album and singles from Too Much Texas and The Giraffes, finally arrived on the blog, records that were very long time on my Wanted Records list. I hope that more of this obscure and hard to find records from my list, will be posted on the blog.

 

Madchester Rave On is private again and this time, will stay private for very long time. After two or three warnings to the person who was terrorizing my blog with few thousand connections, every day, from various suspicious sites, it's time to close my blog for public viewing.

 

I'm not sure how many of you who were added to my private list, still following my blog.

So, if you are on my list and still following me, please send email to: evibes72@yahoo.com

The Cygnet Ring - Higher (Cassette Promo)

THE CYGNET RING
Higher (Cassette Promo)
1990 Not On Label

Notes :
Obscure and hard to find, self-released cassette promo by The Cygnet Ring.
The Cygnet Ring were a early 90's madchester band band best known for their song "Love Crime". The band was founded by singer Rus Harrison who had previously been in a local indie band called Playing At Trains and had gained a cult following around the late 1980s.
The Cygnet Ring released a number of 7" and 12" singles during their existence and recorded one full-length album called Hopeful Monsters that was never officially released.

After checking their Playing At Trains page on Discogs i found that they also released this ''Higher" demo tape in 1989 as Playing At Trains, with same tracklisting for Adventure Cassettes label.
You can find info here.
As Playing At Trains they released two singles and recorded one album "Go!" only as cassette promo, also for Adventure Cassettes label. It was probably their own label, i think that this album was never officially released.
