Looking for early-mid 80s new wave/rock/synth

Discuss hard-to-find or out-of-print New Wave and '80s Alternative, and share a few songs along the way.

I really enjoy bands like The Nobodys and Koo De Tah. I've heard the following are somewhat similar, at least in obscurity, and I can't find their albums anywhere:

The Expressions
Blanket of Secrecy
Thirteen at Midnight
Sons of Heroes

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

The Blanket of Secrecy album 'Ears Have Walls' was re-mastered by the band 30 or so years after it was recorded and put on UK ITunes just before Christmas, not sure if available worldwide though.

The Expressions is available for purchase here: http://www.almacantarrecords.com/index. ... i6ml04ksd5

Like Paulie said, Blanket of Secrecy is re-issued in the UK, but does not seem to be available in North America.

I have uploaded the other two for you: [;)]

Thanks Danielwaver for sharing. I already have these but I thought I would compare my copy to yours for sound quality. Most of us that have been collecting for years have the same copies that have been circulating forever. I've always wanted to post or trade WAV or FLAC copies of rare/OOP CDs here, but every time I feel inspired, I see a share post where no one thanks the poster or makes a complaint about not including artwork or something. It's a "I Gots Mine" world.

I agree Chuck that's why I thanked the uploader :)) By the way I doubt I have something you folks don't have but please feel free to ask.
