Three Lost Singles From The 1990’s

Buffalo Tom
Velvet Roof
1992


Velvet Roof was the sixth single from Boston, Massachusetts’ three piece, Buffalo Tom. Released on Situation Two/Beggars Banquet in 1992. It was written by the band, who also co-produced it with Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade. 


Ride
Twisterella
1992


Meanwhile over the Atlantic, in Oxford, England, Ride were gazing at their shoes. This was Ride’s fourth single, released on Creation records in 1992. It debuted at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart, only to fall to 54 the next week before disappearing altogether.


Steam
No Shoes, No Home
1995


Firstly, I apologise for the quality of the mp3. It was recorded off of a record that was etched not pressed. One of the King Worldwide Records lathe cut records. Grooves etched on to polycarbonate rather than pressed into vinyl. This single was given away with a issue of Captain Stupid Comic's. Steam were a bit of a local New Zealand super-group. Drummer Rob Key had played for The Cakekitchen and The Expendables, guitarist Danny Manetto for Shaft and Voom. bassist Nick Kreisler, the Pet Rocks and Greg Fleming & The Trains and singer Chris McKibbin was Lee Harvey.   

***Warning recorded off of etched vinyl. A lot of Surface Noise***
