THE CRACKERS - GUARANTEED (1983)

VARIOUS - MAS CHRISTMAS! (2014)
One month from today, it will be Christmas Eve, so this is time to share the ninth PPC collection of Christmas Carols. All the previous eight volumes have been re-upped last week, so newcomers have been able to get those compilations for the first time and if necessary, old PPC members to replace their lost copies due to some hard drive crash or whatever...

Last year, Tic Tac Mistletoe was spread all over the web on other sites, blogs or torrents. I have even found some sites trying to sell the Tic Tac Mistletoe compilation. I would recall that PPC Records doesn't exist, the artwork is only made for the fun part of it, and please remember the compilations are FREE. Though I'm really flattered to see my compilations becoming popular items, i'd like to say that i'm not interested in seeing my compilations posted everywhere.

Mas Christmas! is available in both lossy and lossless formats.
All the songs included on this collection were compiled from CD's or official digital downloads. Out of the 25 songs, auCDtect found 2 songs (1 from an official CD, the other coming from a Bandcamp download) as MPEG 95%.

Full artwork included

lossy: ZS (320 lame 3.98) (186 mb)
lossless: UL (FLAC 8) (560 mb)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015
May this New Year brings you more hooks than ever

To start this new year, i'm pleased to post this rarity
that never made it to CD.

The album is ranked #121 in the Ultimate Power Pop Guide

I had the album back in August 2014
while a friend was in vacation near my home
He brought the LP with him, so i was able to make
a brand new needle drop and scan the complete sleeve

MASSIVE THANX TO PETER
