Radio : EXD 1233 - Sunday January 1st, 2023

This week's radio program starts off with a tribute to Terry Hall, lead singer from the Specials. We’ll take a look at some of the bands Terry was in before and after the Specials as well as some rare recordings of the Specials. That will be at the top of the show. The rest of the show will continue with our year in review look at 2022. Stephe reviews cassettes, Chris drills down into Canadian cassettes, Rob and Andre round out their year with their favourite releases. Download the show here.

A message to you .... Terry

The most iconic face for Britain’s ska revival - he had that dour look. Terry Hall was in a punk group called Squad. They formed in 1977 and recorded two singles. This is the A side to that first single “Red Alert”. 

SQUAD - Red Alert (Squad) 

Jerry Dammers talked him into joining the Coventry Automatics. He would replace singer Tim Strickland. The Coventry Automatics would become the Specials. The Coventry Automatics were a little slower and more on the reggae side so although there are a lot of songs on here that would become songs for the Specials, the Coventry Automatics were an early stage of the band's development. Here is an example of a song from the first LP. 

THE COVENTRY AUTOMATICS - Concrete Jungle (Receiver) 

THE SPECIALS - Long Shot Kick The Bucket - Liquidator - Skinhead Moonstomp (The Skinhead Symphony In Three Movements) 

A medley of ska classics recorded at the BBC on October 22nd, 1979 referred to as the skinhead symphony in three movements. THE SPECIALS would go on to release three albums and a ton of top 10 singles. So many hits. And after “Ghost Town” Hall left the Specials with Lynval Golding and Neville Staple to form FUN BOY THREE. FUN BOY THREE were described as a deadpan and oddly experimental new wave group and they worked with an all girl group named Bananarama that would have greater success. With this project the band would hit No. 7 with its cover of “Our Lips Are Sealed,” a 1981 hit for the Go-Go’s that Mr. Hall wrote with that band’s Jane Wiedlin, whom he briefly dated. Here's a track from the first LP that features early Banarama 

FUN BOY THREE - It Ain't What You Do (Chrysalis) 

THE COLOURFIELD - Colourfield (Chrysalis) 

THE COLOURFIELD were formed in 1984 and were based on Manchester. They had that jangly pop 60’s sound that the SMITHS were already popularizing. This is where I lost track of Terry Hall but he would go on to play in many bands and even re-join the Specials in 2008 performing with them right up until 2018. We’re going to go out with a song I got to see performed in a farmer’s field in Oakville thanks to the first Police Picnic and I had no idea what I was watching but I knew I loved it. Here's a clip from Much Music that the folks from UXB press posted.....Scroll through it to see the song "Enjoy Yourself". 

THE SPECIALS - Enjoy Yourself (Reprise) (Two-Tone)

Radio - Sunday September 11th, 2022

The Queen passed away on Thursday, which is the day we are producing this show. So we started off the show with “Monarchy Zoom” by DOOM. On tonight’s show we have some features on the DC band Gray Matter, a label feature on Slow Death Records. A demo feature by a band from Winnipeg called Diefenbaker. Download this week's show here. 

DOOM - Monarchy Zoo (Discipline / Vinyl Japan) 

But getting back to the queen. It was surprisingly hard to find songs about the monarchy given that the Sex Pistols most famous song is “God Save the Queen”. So this first set of material is songs about that starting off with a demo version of that Sex Pistols song recorded in 1977 at Gooseberry Studios.
