Req: Something PAINFULLY RARE

Im always interested in all things so rare it hurts. Dig through your unreleased files and post something.

I know this is random. I just feel like I havent been exposed to enough...and my new wave IQ is a little shallow.

you could even post clips. I just wanna hear.

I dug & I dug...studio recordings are impossible to determine if they're rare or not in this day & age of technology...someone, somewhere has it & is passing it thru cyberspace!

From 1981...recorded live at Crocs nightclub (I believe in Essex)...BEFORE they signed their lives away to Virgin...Culture Club with "A Situation (aka Put It Down)"

The sound is pretty darn atrocious but even I was shocked to know that this existed. I think it's even been confirmed by the Boy himself that this indeed is a legit recording...

This will be difficult with the crew we've got on these boards but I'll give it a go:

Sudeten Creche - "Kindergarten"
British minimal synth from 1983. They recorded two 12" EPs and then split. Originally from Belfast and popular in Eastern Europe.

Not painfully rare but this song doesn't turn up that frequently.

Here's one - Ultravox performing "Hiroshima Mon Amour" live.

What's that, you say? Not rare? How about with Midge Ure on vocals?

You want rare, or obscure? There's a difference.

This is a great thread to post songs done by "local" bands that you used to go see at clubs and such atleast I think so. So with that said this is a band we used to go see when I was in college and they moved away to Hershey, PA with hopes of getting big but in the end they didn't do much. I think if they would have stayed in the New Orlenas market they would have been as big as Better Than Ezra or Cowboy Mouth. The leadsinger is now solo and still playing and releasing material. This track I am posting was one of their first "singles". The entire CD is really good and is available on iTunes. So without further ado here is Underground Cartoons with "Not That Stupid". I apologise if I have posted this before, I cant seem to remember if I did or not.

Can we make rare requests?

How about Helen Love and Wat Tyler - Happiest time of the Year

Only 100 vynil singles were ever pressed apparently. If anyone even has a taped copy off the radio, I'd be happy.
