Frogs of War - The Gunpowder Plot Noodle

So, it’s ‘odd punk tape find of the day’ time again with this: “The Frogs of War - The Gunpowder Plot Noodle”

While I was rummaging about for more Because Midway Still… stuff I came across this old tape (brilliantly it’s a C30) of a band from Huddersfield that I saw play live on numerous occasions as a lad and presumably bought this tape at one of their gigs. It’s from 1990, the quality is ropey and having listened to it I now know why my hearing is so shot to pieces; if this is what I listened to live at The Wharf and Top Spot on a Monday night in my youth, it’s no wonder I’m going deaf!

As you’ll be unlikely to have a copy of this here you go, tracks in order are (The live second half was recorded at The Wharf pub in Huddersfield on 29 January 1990. Blimey, that makes me feel old):

1. Eyes of the Free

2. Colder

3. That Perfect Day

4. Home Away from Home

5. Washing Your Car (Live)

6. Eyes of the Free Blues (Live)

7. Up Someones Ass (Live)

8. Short Cut (Live)

9. Citizen (Live)

10. Transmit the Message (Live)

And the whole lot as a massive zip file “The Frogs of War - The Gunpowder Plot Noodle” (which is 43 meg, so go easy!) and the cassette insert is here Side 1 and here side 2.

I realise that this is probably breaking all kinds of copyright laws so will take it down if needs be.
