The first This Poison! single ( on The Wedding Present's label Reception Recs ) gets us underway today, it was a toss up between the a & the b sides as they're both crackers !!
Other things - my apologies for the quality of 'Blind Vision" - it's pressed on very shitey quality clear vinyl, only one level up from a bad flexi, in fact some of my flexis sound better. Oh and I chose the b-side of Josef K's "It's Kinda Funny" single cos I always foud the a-side slow and boring...sure I still bought but was never big on the song !!
And another case of 2 copies of the same single in the guise of "Thru The Flowers", as it's already appeared in the early early days of this blog, so..er..yeah 2 copies of that one. 3 if you include the original version !!
go grab it and enjoy -

G'Day Mate,
I was absolutely STOKED to find your blog. I discovered music for myself in approx. 1980 when I found a copy of the station magazine for the old 5MMM in Adelaide. It blew my mind how much it blew my mind. Triple M (subscriber funded, NOT part of the MMM network) would print a top 37...or 38..or 42..that concept alone had me hooked.
The first music I got from MMM was "I Travel" by Simple Minds which I snared by leaving the 'record' button pressed down while the Top 37 was playing when Mum called me down for tea. Half an hour later I came back to see what I'd caught!!!
I will be downloading a good many of your SideRoom 'Tens'.
Thanks Heaps!!!!
wow that's a great tale and I know what you mean with 5MMM ( having been involved with 2SER myself in Sydney )...bit like me in that era discovering a lot of stuff on the 2JJ - before the station turned to bollocks as the "youth network" that is.
thanks for writing,, hope you get some enjoyment out of what you find here :)
