80s ska mix tape



This is a mixtape I got from a friend in Holland, its put out by Thatcher001 Decline and Fall of the British Empire. and it's called Friday Night At Goodge Street Station. I like Mobster Shuffle alot, by Mobster. Unfortunately the tape gets a bit warbled during this song.

I also uploaded a funny track by Don Drummond Jr. called Clash and Specials Go To Jail.

I don't really know the background of these groups, if anyone wants to elaborate that would be great. If you see any tracks on the tape-cover you want me to upload I can do that.

i think the tape "label" that put this out is Decline and Fall of the British Empire and "Thatcher001" is a catalog of sorts. i've seen other tapes in this series that are Thatcher002 and so on.

great blog... my request is to please post the rest of the tape! this is extremely rare stuff!!

Any chance of the whole tape being uploaded? There's some old classics on there.

My old pal Gene Meredith put out this tape way back in 86-87???? Do you happen to have the song NUCLEAR DANCE on it? It was by some Italian outfit I remember it as being the best song on the tape .....some 25 years ago.
