Lost and found 4 : Decemberists

This week an extremely rare song from a 1985 compilation cassete called "Discreet campaigns".
These Decemberists are not the same nice band from the USA. I don't know who are them or where they come from, I only know this wonderful song that sounds a lot like The Smiths.

(An update here: a german pop fan, Olaf, has told me that The Decemberists later become the Hellfire Sermons, a great indie pop band. Thanks Olaf!)

You can see the complete tracklisting of the tape here: http://www.discogs.com/release/385745

And of course you can download it here:

Dear Javier.
This is a nice addition. Your weekly choice sounds bright, as if you were into a happy period or in love. Maybe you are, who knows. Anyway, I'd like to mention that this song has a nice guitar reef quite similar to one of The Field Mice, can't remember which song, so maybe there were some plagiarism among indie-pop bands these days.

Been looking for the Discreet campaigns cassette for years now.
someone was selling a copy on ebay recently but I missed it.
The cassette was originally a giveaway on the front of some music mag. I played it while I was at college in 1986. over a number of months fell in love with almost every tracks.
Any chance of releasing any more?

Hi there, great to see this old song of ours available again to those in the know. I have gone back and listened to the old tapes and there are about 30 Decemberists songs recorded in a similar vein. There is one indie label that might be interested. We'll see!

Sobre mí

Hi, I'm Javier. This site is a tribute to the golden years of indie pop (C86, guitar pop, jangle pop, etc). I will post a song weekly from my vinyls, always very rare songs, hard to find nowadays (except if you are millionaire and want to spend your money in ebay). Hope you like it, please send your comments to : sansonero@yahoo.es
