Howdy! In this section, your friendly bumcastle archivist Uncle Wrinkly shares rare, forgotten, or obscure music that has never been officially available for sale in a digital format. Perhaps one day they will be reissued (and at that point they will be taken down) but until that day comes, please enjoy!

Lady Luck, to be best of my knowledge, was a studio project from Montreal. Previously releasing a more straightforward rock album (which I do not yet own a copy of), it appears the producers Barry & Jimmy Redmond moved in a synth/new wave direction with this obscure release. Enjoy!

A punky/new wave self-titled release from Canadian band Deserters. One of the band members was Kenny MacLean of Platinum Blonde fame.
There is at least one other rip floating around, but this is my own in lossless format.
Alien was a Canadian charting single. I’m quite partial to Take It Away as well, so I’ve chosen that as the preview.
