On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Well, I've finished with the Cup of Tea Records shares for this month. I have a couple related posts to finish out the month, then it's off to the beach for Dubtember. 



Cup of Tea made a deal with Canada's Iron Music label to release licensed editions of assorted Cup of Tea music. Iron Music was founded in 1994 by Aubrey Winfield. They released many items from original Canadian artists as well as Cup of Tea music. 

 



What could be more Canadian to start off this CoTR adjacent label than The Pursuit of Happiness with their alt-rock classic(???) "Gretsky Rocks".

Led by Edmonton, Alberta, frontman Moe Berg, The Pursuit of Happiness formed in 1985 when Berg & drummer Dave Gilby moved to Toronto, Ontario. There they soon teamed up with bassist Johnny Sinclair. They added sisters Tamara & Natasha Amabile as backing vocalists to round out the roster.

 In March 2006, they were inducted into the Canadian Indies Hall of Fame. 

 

The Pursuit of Happiness -  Where’s the Bone, Iron Music 77876 51003 2, 1995.

    Always happy to pump some iron with you mate. It may take a day or two though, as y'day i splashed out on The Mars Volta's 'Deloused In The Comatorium', and today had the great good fortune to find 3x Bill Nelson (Cabinet Of DR. Caligari/Belle Et Le Bête, Savage Gestures For Charm's Sake & On A Blue Wing) at my local flea mkt, £32 for all 3. It'll be a hot time in Accrington tonight!
    While i'm here, can i just say a combined 'thanks!' to reb.jukebox, PWinks & Richard for recent links. Oh, and more thanks to thee for putting me on to the Head Duster blog. All the links are still active, after all these years. Gravy, booby.
