Just bumping this from several topic down page two, and it happens to be the only non-responded to topic on the first three pages (there are two that went without comment on page four -- both I checked out but didn't respond so will respond momentarily). This is not important, or anything, but interested to get impressions.

Darn, lost my post (service unavailable) -- it's been working so well that past hour that I forgot to copy. No biggie; 'twasn't a long response. Thanks for checking it out and pointing out the broken link. I should remember to check those links (thought I'd been careful). I accidentally copied and pasted in a space at the end of the address, and that's enough to break the link. That often happens to me. It's an interesting one, I think, because of the Canterbury and ska influence, and yeah, the Henry Cow and H&tN influence is quite evident. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

| I would think the style is sufficient that they should have a place in the archives, probably under Canterbury (obvious). |

Yeah; I think so too. Great picture of Wyatt with Henry Cow, by the way.

Thanks. I mentioned it on page 41 of their thread, and am looking forward through the thread for developments. EDIT: Whether it gets added or not, I think it's a neat-o one, and worth checking out and discussing. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

Like, err - WOW! I cannot believe I missed this thread back in July - I must have been on holiday or asleep or something... The Reluctant Stereotypes. Gosh. I honestely never expected to see a thread about them here. "The Label" is the only ska album I ever liked - Canterbury wouldn't have been the first thing that sprang to mind when hearing it, however the three MySpace tracks do sound remarkably Canterbury-ish for a Coventry Two-Tone/Ska band (though none of them are on the album) - 'Reverend' is a early working of 'Reverend Green', which loses a lot of it excentricity by the time it's recorded for "The Label" - I don't recognise the other two tracks- pretty cool though.
 Colin Heanes, drums
Steve Edgson, clarinet Paul Sampson, guitar Tony Wall, bass guitar Paul King, vocals After the break-up of the Reluctant Stereotypes, Paul King and Tom Wall went to form King (hit single Love & Pride) while Paul Samson went into production. Paul King later became a MTV presenter.

A cool and informative post, Dean. I don't think it's so much Canterbury as Skanterbury. Thought it would be a cool one to mention as we don't really have a lot of Ska/ Two-Tone bands in the archives. ;) Based on those tracks, I'd love to see it in the archives somewhere; hope I can get the album.
