Shark Taboo - Seeds Of A Lunatic LP

Shark Taboo was a female-fronted gothwave band from London. 'Seeds Of A Lunatic' is their first album. What sets them apart from other goth bands is the socio-political content of the lyrics. A song like 'Patriotic Flag' deals about war, 'Cage' is about animal abuse.
'Big Sell' and 'Troineann Siad' were released as a 7" before, on Crisis (same label as Stiff Kittens) and Lambs To The Slaughter respectively. 'Cage' also released as a 12" on Lambs To The Slaughter.
Shark Taboo lasted till the early 90's and released 1 more 12" and 3 more albums, which I've never heard.

Seeds Of A Lunatic LP (Crisis Records-CSS 3-1985)
1. Big Sell
2. Short Sharp Shock
3. Troineann Siad (The Fight)
4. Patriotic Flag
5. Distorted Words
6. Cage
7. Vanity Fair
8. The Spectator

De Brassers - s/t 12"

De Brassers were another cold wave band from Limburg, Belgium. From the same scene as Struggler and Siglo XX. De Brassers even opened for Killing Joke in Brussels.
This 12" is the second release of the band. Their first one is the self-released (and ultra-rare) 'En Toen Was Er Niets Meer' 7"(And Then There Was Nothing Left). The band fell apart in 1982, mainly of drug issues. But De Brassers ressurected with a slightly different line-up and are still doing gigs occasionally.

Shop Assistants

Should've done this long ago. As Cactus Mouth Informer already posted the 'Safety Net' 12", here two more of Shop Assistants. They were formed around 1983/84 in Edinburgh, Scotland. First release is a 7" when they were called Buba & The Shop Assistants.
The 'Shopping Parade' 7" is the first release as Shop Assistants. On this one you'll find the original version of 'All Day Long'. The 'I Don't Wanna Be Friends With You' 12" is the third release. Shop Assistants released a brilliant self-titled album. It is posted on the 1941424345 blog here. This blog suffered from deletion so I don't know if it's still up.

Zor Gabor

Some people at Texas Jumblesales asked for the extra track to be found on the 12" version of the 'Tightrope' record of Zor Gabor. Here it is. Personally I think it's the least interesting track.
Zor Gabor had John McKay in the band. He was the first guitarist of Siouxsie & The Banshees.
You can get the other 2 tracks of Zor Gabor here.
Released on In Tape (ITTI 042) in 1987.

UPDATE! Fritz Die Spinne pointed me out on the 12" version of the title track. This one is indeed much longer than the 7" version. About 7 minutes, not a re-mix though...

Update! As Texas Jumblesales is not around anymore, here the complete 12":

The Deadpan Tractor - Grumble 12"

Awkward Beefheartian music of the 80's? I guess so. The Deadpan Tractor even cover a song by Captain Beefheart called 'Big Eyed Beans From Venus'.
When they toured Holland, the band did a small interview for Dutch magazine Vinyl where they stated that this recording was well out of date. Unfortunately, The Deadpan Tractor never did any more releases. There is one other song from the same period to be found on the Rouska compilation 'Raging Sun'.
This record is one of the two non-Inca Babies releases on Black Lagoon. The other one is a 7" of The Old Men.
