Brimstone BS01 (1990)

Originating from Portland, Oregon this all-female band existed from 1989-1992.

 During that period they released 4 singles and an album. In their time as part of the Portland grunge scene they supported on tour Scrawl and Fugazi. They also covered the support slot Nirvana for a few shows on their 1992 South American tour.

This was their first single released in 1990 in a batch of 500 copies pressed on orange/dark yellow vinyl.  The YouTube link below is the slightly different version of Hang Up that appeared on their 1992 album.

Vibravoid Kraut Rock Sensation EP Fruits De Mer CRUSTACEAN 07 (2009) Another great slab of vinyl from the Fruits De Mer label featuring the band Vibravoid who hail from Dusseldorf, Germany. The original plan for the label was for long lost rock classics to be re-released however licensing the music was I assume very difficult and expensive so the label moved into having rare and classic rock being re-recorded as cover versions. This EP was a limited release of 300 copies so finding a copy these days is difficult.  On the EP the tracks being covered are: Kraftwerk's Ruckzuck  Amon Duul II's Eye Shaking King Can's Mother Sky Mashantra's Rauchkraut FLAC

Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls Dream Sequences Illusion IVEX 1 (1980 ) Pauline Murray (born 1958) having been inspired by seeing the Sex Pistols perform formed the punk band Penetration.  The band had some success in the UK but in October 1979 they had split up. Pauline in 1980 then recorded her first solo work being backed in the studio by The Invisible Girls.  This single is taken from the resulting album.  This version in my collection is a 10" single, it was also released on  7" vinyl.

Maureen Ryan - Better Use Your Head

Marion Ryan  (4 February 1931 – 15 January 1999)  was a popular British singer in the 50s & 60s, once called "the Marilyn Monroe of popular song".  Most of her output is referred to as run of the mill pop but the "A" side of a 1968 release, although not experiencing any chart success at the time, found acceptance during the 1970s on the Northern Soul dance scene. The flip is one of her many standard pop ballads, sung well, but nothing special. Philips BF 1721 FLAC
