Alternative Colchester #10
Request a record from 1976-1981
Steve Green recorded episode 10 of Alternative Colchester without his partner in crime, Tim Young, who was unavailable due to health reasons, but he will be back, all guns blazing, for episode 11.
Tim had been looking forward to talking about Ipswich's promotion to the Premier League, but not only does producer Luke Fitch carry the Tractor Boys flame in his absence, but the show's guests also include Ipswich's very own Red Flag 77's Rikki Flag and John "Fanny" Adams, who get to play some of their favourite records from 1976–1981.
Tim's choices are played in his absence, while Steve's picks include tracks by Bullitz 23 and The Scissor Fits, both of whom have got in touch with the show and definitely meet the criteria. Bullitz 23 are new to us, but their sound is clearly influenced by the sound of 1977, while The Scissor Fits, hailing from Hounslow, were actually there.
Other records played are classics by Johnny Moped, The Drones, Department S, Sleepers, Blondie, The Saints, The Boys, The Carpettes, Tom Robinson Band, and of course Stiff Little Fingers. Red Flag 77's alter ego, Blue Flag 78, also features.
