V/A 8 FROM '80, A CARLISLE COMPILATION

Matchbox Classics was a independent label that released mainly singles by bands from, or near Carlisle, Cumbria, England, UK. I tried looking these bands up separately and found little info on any of them. All the tracks are pretty good on here but for me, the standouts are The Spivs, MR. Bulder, No Support, and The Limps. As always, your welcome to add to this.

Hi Nicholas,
Did The Pedestrians get to record anything else ?It's a cool track, by the way. Especially for a bunch of 12 an 13 year olds.Thanks for the comment.

Hi Jeff,
Unfortunately that’s usually the case; thanks for the record, and the comment.
