ENG: "Eurowave (for Rednecks)" hasn't probably been posted before. We unearthed the files from Unspeakable's vault and here it is, posted at last! It was released on Parsley Records in 1982 and contains 13 excellent new wave songs from some bands we know a little about and others of whom we know nothing about. Among the familiar names are those of Arbeid Adelt!, Red Zebra, T.C. Matic and Luna Twist. Enjoy!

2. Various/Start Swimming LP (Stiff America-1981)
ENG: Today's second compilation bears the title "Start Swimming" and comes from a most promising live appearance of six bands from New York in London. The concert took place at the Rainbow Theater in February 1981. Apparently, it wasn't one of the best concerts and one of the bands, Polyrock, didn't want to get included in this release, so the album contains The Bongos, The Raybeats, The dB's, Bush Tetras and The Fleshtones. "No Longer Forgotten Music" had originally posted about this LP but now the link is inactive. Futhermore, check what one of the bands (The dB's) had to say about that particular concert in 1981. Have a good listening to this one!
Tracks:
01. The Bongos: Telephoto Lens
02. The Bongos: In the Congo
03. The Raybeats: International Operator
04. The Raybeats: Rise And Fall Of Flingel Bunt
05. The dB's: Death Garage
06. The dB's: We Should Be In Bed
07. Bush Tetras: Punch Drunk
08. Bush Tetras: Cold Turkey
09. The Fleshtones: Wail Baby Wail
10. The Fleshtones: Big Man (Calling Dr. Cranklin)
