A selection from some very rare and obscure UK records. But does that mean that the music is good? I don't know if I've just been listening to this kind of stuff for so long or if the music just can't come anywhere close to the hype that goes along with records like these. Maybe the charm of poor production and a lack of talent is starting to wear thin? While most of these are decent songs there just wasn't much that jumped out and grabbed me, which I'd expect from songs that come from records that can cost several hundred pounds. But they're rare though!
