Clifford Evans Band

The Clifford Evans Band

Hands up who remembers the single "Your Face, A Fucking Disgrace" by The Porno Cassettes turning up on eBay a couple of years ago. Supposedly a UK record from 1982, according to the short MP3 snippet provided by the seller it was a super-shouty oi-type number along the lines of "British Justice" by The Ovaltinees. Not at all bad: I'll have one of those, please. Thing is, that one copy on eBay (who did it apparently sell to? anyone know?) is the only time it's ever shown up, and surely everything points to it having been a wind-up. Pretty good wind-up, fair play, but a red-herring for people like me who go actively trying to track the bugger. Like I don't waste enough fucking time already. If you know anything about the Porno Cassettes mystery, contact me.

Well a couple of eBay years before that was this, the Clifford Evans Band: this is the MP3 that accompanied the auction of a (white-labels only? acetate?) 1978 (?) UK private-pressing LP. At least this time, unlike with the Pornos, the auction was illustrated with (blurry) snaps to provide (vague) photographic evidence that the item actually existed. (I blame all my current eye-problems on the many hours spent squizzing the super-small pics in a desperate effort to make out any text that would've allowed me to have something to go on in sleuthing the band.) Hyper-annoyingly (I use hyper- in everyday speech these days as a secret Freemasons-like handshake to connect with other punk collectors), since then my proper computer has died the death, taking with it those blurry snaps so I don't have a picture to go with this post, but if anyone - anyone - knows anything - anything -about the Clifford Evans Band...
