#150

We kick off today with a Reels bside "My Family",  originally released a few years earlier to the aside on their "Pitt Street Farmers"EP, followed by The Snorkels ( and The Snorkettes ) from Sydney and their one and only single. I am a little hazy on he details from something in the deep recesses says it was another Fabian Byrne ( Fast Cars etc ) outfit with associated friends from other bands of the time, being on Method Records with an early cat number would also probably be futher evidence to this theory, feel free to write and let us all know if you know more :)

Then we have the first ep from The Particles called "Colour In", the other side of TG's self titled song and an early version of a Primitives song ( later on their "Lovely" LP ) - taken from a Sounds Magazine giveaway.

Following that it's The Clouds ( as in the Scottish band, not the Aussie band ) from a ( Sha La La ) flexi  called "The Bring Back Throwaway Pop Ep", shared with Mighty Mighty. Then it's The Chills with a single from their "Brave Worlds" LP,  the final Lotus Eaters single, the French band Lighthouse ( from an ep of live songs ) and lastly some Teardrop Explodes, their penultimate single
