The winners here on this platter are the Strike numbers ( with the female singer Lesley Whitten).

Is it over and out ?

My Mediafire account is suspended by violation of the terms and the files are no longer available for download. Sorry for that.
I'm a little bit frustrated at the moment and i don't know if i should re-upload all the files on another place. It's extremly hard work and i don't know if i can find enough spare time for that.
DivShare , Mega ? Has someone experience with that ?
Please let me know.

Thanks for your support over the years !

# 388 Smart Alec - My mummy

Side a: My mummy
Side b: Pretty girls
UK 1980
First of two 7" they made. The band was maybe from Plymouth/South Devon and is very well known for the "Scooter boys" single. Two great self penned mod revival numbers here on this record. Maybe it was only a studio project released by Blue Chip records. I don't know. I like this record but some people hate it (or the band) , haha !!
