Total Shite Vol 1

Although generally it must be agreed that I post perhaps the most critically acclaimed music you could find, from seminal rare techno to forgotten essential congolese soukous, now and then I feel it is necessary to expose oddities which may not be quite critically acclaimed.   Whoever made this tape must have worked for EMI - looks like maybe a compilation of stuff that either they had received as submissions or else just some random stuff they found.  Either way, it's pretty special stuff.  Tracks like Jessica are actually a decent quality recording.  But most of these are in a league of personal expression of their own.  Which makes you wonder if the Internet and everyone being able to easily make their own music is actually a good or bad thing.

R. Kray sounds suspiciously like Paul Shane (Ted Bovis) of "Hi De Hi" fame. Great blog by the way.

Wonderfully awful ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Too bad there are no names or credits. Wouldn't it be fantastic to confront the perpetrators after all these years?

Actually this tape would have been sent to advertising agencies, tv production companies and (dare I say it) other 'creatives', for the purposes of licensing the songs.
