Brownsville Station - School Punks
@ 320 - covers are included
1. Kings Of The Party 2. Mama Don't Allow No Parkin' 3. Meet Me On The Fourth Floor 4. Fast Phyliss 5. I Get So Excited 6. Ostrich 7. I Got It Bad For You 8. Hey Little Girl 9. I Got Love If You Want It/I'm A King Bee 10. I'm The Leader Of The Gang
Brownsville Station followed up their mammoth proto-punk hit "Smoking In The Boy's Room" with this slice of power-trio garage rock, and it solidified their reputation as a party band.
Originally released in 1974, this album also has two BS classics...the band's statement of purpose "Kings Of The Party" (a minor chart hit) and the continuation of great cover choices with "I'm The Leader Of The Gang" by glam rock king Gary Glitter.
That mix was between hard-rocking ("Kings Of The Party") and loving old 50's style rock (the medley of "I've Got Love If You Want It/I'm A King Bee") that predated The Ramones by a couple of years. Even though Brownsville's style of rock was closer to Foghat or J.Geils than the coming surge of punk to come, there is no denying that Cub Koda and the boys had an influence on garage rockers everywhere, and "School Punks" is probably their most consistent album.

I wonder how you can upload stuff to Z-Share??? For nearly 2 days now I'm always when I try to enter Z-Share getting the info "Under maintenance".
Please think about an alternative hoster. It's not possible to download the "Arrows" post as well as this "Brownsville Station" post.
And, last not least, THANX for all your fantastic uploads!!!
Mitch
The answer is very simple : all the posts were already uploaded since a couple of days. If zshare still gets stuck at the end of the week-end i'll reup the last posts on another hoster but i will only be able to do that on monday anyway.
ThanX anyway for your support and help. Hope Z-Share will not be down like Shareonall. Take your time! I'll gonna check regularly what's going on!
Enjoy the weekend!
