MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1982, The Pastels released their debut, Songs For Children 7” on Whaam! Records. The single featured the two songs, “Heavens Above!” and “Tea Time Tales”. In an NME feature at the time, Stephen Pastel stated: “I’d like us to sound like a ‘60s group with an element of bubblegum in it. The Pastels are punk, but not like The Exploited or Anti-Pasti, they’re just stupid and silly. (We’re) more like The Television Personalities, that’s the way punk should have gone.” Today we have Where The Trains Go (Breaking Lines) by THE PASTELS from a Peel Session recorded in 1984.
