Postcard Records.
You might have heard of it. Founded at 185 West Princes Street, Glasgow by Alan Horne.
It had the motto ‘The Sound of Young Scotland’ while its logo was a cat banging a drum.
In April 1980, the first Postcard 45 was released. In August 1981, the eleventh and final Postcard 45 was released.
They are all going to feature this week and at the end I am going to try the impossible by ranking them in preference on the quality of just the A side of the single. Wish me luck.

THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Good luck JC! I’m looking forward to the result.
My money is on falling and laughing as number 1
Should be interesting.
Looking forward to the new Simon Goddard book on Postcard too.
This is a list I know you aren’t taking lightly. Can’t wait to see it.
Blue Boy. Got to be Blue Boy
