When was this released? I've seen it listed as 82, 83 and 84.

1984 is most likely -- the songs were recorded in Oct '83, so '84 is a safe guess.

The record/sleeve have no date information.

I'd like to hear some of their stuff as I only know "Friends of Bill" and liked it very much. Could you post some tracks?
Cheers, Plastik

Any one got any idea who was in this band?

Basking Sharks were:

Adrian Todd

Martyn Eames

Ged McPhail

I believe Ged is still active in the music scene in the U.K. No info on Martyn. Adrian and I have exchanged e-mails, and he was nice enough to sell me all of the Basking Shark releases for 10 quid total. Not a bad deal considering each one usually goes for $70 - $100 on eBay.

Before you ask, I no longer have a working e-mail address for Adrian.
