The Squibs - Parades 7" (1980)



The Squibs were from Aberdeen, Scotland. They were started in the late 70s by bassist Dave Baird who was their key songwriter. Their sound is mod flavored post-punk and, although John Peel was a fan and gave them some exposure, they never went very far. I think this one single is their only release (please tell me I'm wrong) and the guy who sold it to me claimed there were only 750 copies made. A quick search shows that there are at least 4 copies for sale online at this very moment. A bit odd for such a rare record.

After this Dave Baird moved to London and played for a bit with Knox but has since dropped out of music.

Dave Baird - Bass
David Cattenach - Drums
Colin Garden - Organ
Murray Hadden - Guitar
Jim Rankin - Saxophone
Cliff Taylor - Vocals

A - Parades

B - Out on the Town

Jude - Mirror Mirror 7" (1979)



This is a great new wave song and I can't believe it's not posted anywhere else. Not on any other blogs or Youtube or anywhere else. The b-side isn't terribly good but the a-side...it shouldn't be this overlooked.

A - Mirror Mirror
B - Hear the Rain
