Downliner Sect
Raw Records
Unreleased (Stolen) LP
This is the ONLY copy of the proposed Downliner Sect LP for Raw Records.
I spent £8,000 on recording this LP and then the band stole the tapes from the recording studio and sold them to a record label in Europe.
However, before they did we took the tapes to a small studio in Denmark Street in Central London (just off Charing Cross Road) and had two acetates made.
The guitarist from the band had one copy – I had the other copy and this is it.
The tracks are:
Let’s Ride
Loose End
Out Of School
Richmond R&B
Red Hot Mama
Frustration
Showbiz
Wild Time
Blue Coupe De Ville
Break Up
Playing My Guitar
Love Is Blind
Mismanagement
Has been played a couple of times, otherwise like new.This is an ultra rare - Unplayed Mint Condition Copy
It has been kept in a plastic sleeve in a box all these years
The record is 100% unplayed
My own personal copy
My name is Lee Wood and I am the founder of Raw Records.
I am selling off a collection of records from my own label.
These are totally unplayed copies in Mint condition.
100% original copies. Each item has been in my home since 1977.
I am now having a clear-out of some items.
So now is the time for someone else to enjoy owning this unique item.
Many people who have purchased the Raw Records items I sold recently requested a signed letter of authentification with the record. I will be happy to include one with your record. Also, I have been sent a number of questions by people from around the world. If you have any questions that my memory can recall then I’m happy to answer as honestly as I can.
You can also find some amazing stuff about Raw Records and most of the great bands of the Punk/New Wave era on the incredible website www.Punk77.co.uk
And if anyone is in contact with Dave Ferguson the well-known punk seen on many London postcards who frequented the Kings Road in the 1980’s and is an avid collectors of Punk/New Wave would you ask him to send me a copy of the unreleased songs by Leonard Vice called I’ve Got Spots/Elevenpenny Plums. It is an incredible single by a very talented man. I let Dave borrow my only cassette copy in the 1980’s and have never seen it since. I would gladly pay £50 for a good clear copy. This was due to be issued on Raw but never was.
Someone recently asked me why am I selling all these items? No, I’m not hard up for the money. I have to face the fact I’m getting older and have been a collector of records and “things” most of my life. Therefore my offices are stuffed with things I never use. So it is far better to offer them to people who will appreciate them.
Kept in a smoke free and dust free environment for over 33 years old!
