Ex-Cathedra "Karma Chameleon" 7"

Another one of the few ska punk bands that I can still enjoy.
Wow, this vinyl ripping is great because it made me to listen to some records that I was avoiding for a long time. That reminded me that it's not ska punk that's bad, it's just that in 90s (when I was into the ska punk thing) there was so many bad bands jumping on ska punk vagon that I just gave up getting more of it.
It's good to hear some of that stuff again.
Anyway, I wanted to put here their "Tartan Material" album, but as I can see, it's still available as CD from Damaged Goods. As far as I know ,this Glasgow punx also had few more 7"s, a CD with their first two EP's + some compilation tracks, one 3-way split LP (with Nutcase and Machine Gun Etiquette) and an album on Moon Ska Europe.
The members later played in a lot of other bands including my other all time faves - Fleas And Lice.
In the player you can hear destructed Culture Club's megahit.

Yes, I do have "Tartan Material" on LP, but I will not post it as it is still available to buy as CD from Damaged Goods (see the text below Johnny Cash picture), sorry. As for the "Also Untitled" LP, I've never heard of it and yes, I'd be interested to hear it. Cheers.

Thanx for the 7''
Good old 'Stiff' is still playing at Fleas & Lice. I see him some times, as they play often in my area (which is not far from the border to Netherlands).
