This is the Space Raiders I remember. They were still selling the 10p packs in a shop in Kings Cross in 2013, which I know because I went in around that time with 50p, and had a late night Space Raiders 'n' Tabasco party. Was fucking wild.

£1??? Are you kidding me??? Space Raiders was always the 10p poor man's stale Monster Munch.

Never seen a full episode of Miami Vice, but remember that tune. If you’d played it to me blind and asked which TV show, I would have guessed “Wish You Were Here?” Just looked like a crap Professionals knock-off, with espadrilles and speedboats. The judge was completely right, Chariots of Fire...

I'd personally take the $300 :)

If this one's in the collection, you're really laughing - https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/418399?ev=rb

Finally!

I remember that off John Peel, always liked it. They did a good Peel session too but it seems to be lost media now.

Closest I can hear 'British invasion' groups match the Yank garage groups in attitude and distortion:

That old bitch is always pulling this shit in the first week of June, to deflect attention from my birthday. She was born in fucking April.

Pop 1280 and The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson are good for this. Actually, most Jim Thompson.

Sorry, Betty Boo and Sabrina. Sam…it was always you. I mean…that bit where she looks over her shoulder in the cockpit. Shut up, I’m only human. I even forgive her for the tank. One of the best SAW bangers, total rollerdisco classic. I used to have one of those ‘magazine tapes’ released by the...

Think this thread's proved that the Beatles/Stones were miles behind anyone in the US with access to a guitar, a fuzzbox and a garage between 1964-1969. And as nobody's posted it yet, here's another killer that the Beatles couldn't dream of emulating: I am really fond of this particular...

This has got a neat one

Yeah, was gonna say that synth sounds like the horn on my dad's old Datsun Cherry.

Yep, pretty sure that was him.

Bobby O's B52s rip-off was also 🔥

Great bit of electro history - Factory Records went bananas when they heard Divine's "Love Reaction" and sent Bobby Orlando a legal notice. Which Bobby O clearly threw in the bin, because he then produced the song below. Think what I love about this so much is how he tried to throw the lawyers...

The difference is that the Outcasts, and most of those Pebbles groups, sound like they actually took drugs at some point, and weren't scared of messing around with reverb and distortion to see what happened. Whereas the Beatles and Stones sound like wankers who watched Dr Who and went to bed at...

Nobody ever mentions this '90s party classic anymore, no clue why? Prefer it to KRS-1 going "woo woo" anyway.
