Today we have a record I have always been suspicious as to it's authenticity as an "official release", ie a Jasmine Minks "live ep", I suspect a bootleg, recorded in Nov 1986, from right up the back of the pub and appearing on a dodgy sounding label "Esurient Communications" which sounds possibly French, or maybe was just meant to sound French to put Alan McGee off the scent from chasing the label down and giving them a Glasgow kiss ( ?? )
( see the comments for clarification on this issue ! )
The Jam ep is quite a nifty little 4-track thing with Start, Eton Rifles, That's Entertainment and Going Underground, some nice one stop Jam shopping. The Go-Betweens single looks like it could be more "unofficial merchandise" like the Jasmine Minks but it's a double sided giveaway single from a Melbourne record shop "Music Station Records", the other side being a track by a melbourne band called Empire State, doing a song called Hey Mista.
Please enjoy ;)

cheers sideroom another legendary podcast and you get e-mails from the best people - long live the moose and long live Bazza
hiya!
esurient was a very real label indeed, started by kevin pearce who also wrote the 'hungry beat' fanzine. these days he writes for tangents. they're one of my favourite 80's labels with releases from emily, the claim, hurrah! and hellfire sermons.
check out the discography here:

Ok cool thanks for that info on Esurient, sounds like a great label !!
and yes GO Moose and Baz - still.
i'm pretty sure that go-betweens single was a giveaway at the old central club in richmond. (i have the single; can't remember the show.) there was at least one more in the series, a split single with blue ruin on one side. i don't think music station was a real label as such; there might have been a connection to musicland distribution, though.
thanks eddy, I am pretty sure you're right, that all rings a bell now, I think the blue one has the odolites or sea stories on the other side, or someone similar, I know the one you mean, I didn't have it but I think a friend did
anyone else remember ??
