So obscure, it was:
a) brand new, only delivered to the station during the show (local band Alpha Beta Fox),
b) an unusual US act who took his lyrics from the Adult Personals section of his local paper (Amil Byleckie),
c) a little-heard B-side (Galadriel, Whistler's Mother, Bill Fay, Sparks etc.),
d) an early recording by a Czech band who were not allowed to record or legally perform during the first 5 years of their existence (Uz Jsme Doma),
e) late 70s UK punk from the Beggars Banquet label (The Doll, The Lurkers, Tubeway Army),
f) hard to find a performance video for!
Altogether, it was this week's Obscured By... with Cat & Brat & Michael Hunter. As you may have suspected.
