French punk/oi/other band that dabbled in the punk/ska sound (THIS for instance). They have several other releases and the songwriting ability is impressive with the ska-oriented stuff not necessarily being their best work (The song Dans la Salle Du Bar is great).
You're probably not going to like this the first time you hear it. I didn't. But it really does grow on you. Listen to it 3 times and you'll love it for life.
This 7" was submitted to us by Bruce who also provided this info: 7" A Forty Miles Of Bad Road B Nice And Slow (Edit)
12" A Forty Miles Of Bad Road (Extended Version) B Nice And Slow
Before shortening their name (& their line-up) to "the Dealers" the Birmingham based band were the Mean Street Dealers & also released the Time is tight EP in 1980 on Inferno records as the Ska City Rockers (7" & 12")
7" A Time Is Tight B1 You Don't Know Like I Know B2 Road Runner
12" A1 Time Is Tight A2 You Don't Know Like I Know A3 Road Runner B1 In The Midnight Gour B2 Barefootin' B3 I Can't Turn You Loose
The band were Mark Bristow (voc guitar) John Wilson (guitar voc) Nigel Darvill (keyboards) Jimmy Simpson (drums)
The 3 tracks from the "Time is Tight" 7" were on the 100% British Ska comp. I included them with this download.
This is the one that says "featuring Roland on Saxophone" on the cover. They thought they'd sell more copies if people thought it was Roland Alphonso instead of the real sax player who was a nobody at the time from a little-known Hull band called the Akrylykz. They might have sold a few more copies in the late eighties if they put the sax player's real name - Roland Gift:
I have previously posted Stormed's rare 12" single "Trouble at Home". It was only released as a promo and I mistakenly reported that they had one other single which was also released only as a 12" promo. Thankfully I now know that the other promo saw an actual 7" release. I have no idea how many copies of this were pressed but now, thanks to Rikard, we get to hear it:
A Beau Terry B1 - The Burn B2 - The John Song
The song "The John Song" was the B-side to "Trouble at Home" but this is a much different version. (This video has nothing to do with the band, but the Morris Dancing goes well with the song)
I have included the 12" with this single so you get everything they released in one handy download.
This is not the California band of the same name. These guys were from Tucson, Arizona and I don't know if they have any other releases. Band leader Mark Wilsey is a firefighter in Arizona and he's still active in music. He is currently fronting Reno Del Mar
