Here's two live songs from a television show in 1979 that I pulled the sound off of. I believe the song Synchronization is unreleased.

Naked - Feltham Football Club, Feltham England 7-29-83

Naked were my favorite band of all the ones that appeared on any of the Bullshit Detector compilation albums on Crass Records. Besides that one fantastic they also released an ep on Bluurg Records in 1983 and that was it. Some demos and lives shows were in circulation at that time that showe3d the band had many great song for a full album. Unfortunately, they never got as far as releasing another record. It was only in 2007 that a full length CD was released with the ep, comp track and unreleased demos. But, still there are plenty of other unreleased songs. Soundboard recording.

Mollesters - Het, Den Haag 1978

The Mollesters were from Den Haag Netherlands and released one classic KBD single in 1978 before disappearing. Luckily someone recorded one of their gigs for posterity. A web search doesn't bring up very much information for the band but I did find a blog post that mentioned these unreleased song titles: tarantula, sexless, paranoia, stupid cop, germs. If anyone wants to have a go at matching song titles to songs please do and let me know what you got. I tried to but wasn't able to match anything. The recording is from the audience and is a  bit rough in quality but certainly listenable. Single and song titles comment here: http://www.kbdrecords.com/2006/11/13/molesters-plastic-7/

Jimmy Norton's Explosion - John Peel Session 7-30-79

Today's post is another officially unreleased Peel session. This time from a sort of Punk Rock supergroup. The band featured Glen Matlock (Bass, Lead Vocals) fresh out of the Rich Kids and formerly of The Sex Pistols, Danny Kustow (Guitar, Backing Vocals) from Tom Robinson Band and Budgie (Drums) from Siouxsie & The Banshees and formerly of Spitfire Boys and Slits. Of these four songs Ambition and Just Like Lazarus were recorded by The Rich Kids in 1978 but remained unreleased until 1998 when they were released on the Burning Sounds CD, Ambition was also recorded by Iggy Pop when Glen played with him.

F Models - Practice for LP 1983 + bonus tracks

Has anyone ever heard of the The F Models? They were from Akron Ohio and released two singles in the early 1980s. The first one came out in 1981 with the songs Nobody Loves Me/Russia Rocks and the second in 1982 with God Fearing Man/It's Not Right (info here:http://www.discogs.com/artist/F-Models?anv=F++Models%2C+The). Both singles are great but sadly none of the songs ever ended up on any KBD releases/boots. The band were also rehearsing songs to record for an LP which apparently was never recorded but here is one of those rehearsals.
