Tekman - Welcome To My Home 7"

(A West Side Fabrication – [WE 008], 1988) [SWE]

Mina - Studio Uno 66 LP

(Rifi – [RFL LP 14016], 1966) [ITA]

Another 'oldies' upload, this time from Italy. A mid-60s LP release from pop singer, artist, Mina. Who had quite a career after her initial pop stardom. Her albums become much more varied and experimental. She's still alive today in 2025 at 85 years old and has even released music fairly recently. This older yé-yé pop is still fantastic as well!

Calm - Self Titled 12"

(Unleaded Records, Man With Gun – [MWG 0.5], 1995) [USA]

Will it be repressed or will it not be? The elusive emo 12" from Cali group Calm that has had a resurgence of popularity in the last couple of years after going relatively unnoticed for the first 20 years of its' existence. Wish I still had my original copy that I probably got rid of around 2007 or so!

Not sure of the genesis of this release from The Field Mice; it's a digital only release from LTM in 2008, (well after they had broken up), which compiles some rarities and singles into a quaint little digital package. Some of their best tracks tho!
