Badge Collection

Re: Badge Collection

I still collect vintage foodstuff badges, but not so much band badges anymore.
Those were just my faves from when I was at school (left in '82)

The 'Black Eagle' badge is a Stranglers Raven badge, I got when I saw them live in 1981

Re: Badge Collection

Yes, and it was finally re-issued a few years back on CD, with bonus tracks.
Did you get the free booklet with your vinyl copy?

That seems to ring a bell...I'll have to look that out. I've been on other nostalgia sites and not found anyone who remembered the Scars. Grinning like an idiot here now!

I didn't know it was reissued - don't get me on how much better things were in the old days when you had something substantial for your money and didn't need a magnifying glass to examine the sleeve notes...

Re: Badge Collection

Wonderful collection, sixtyten. I decided I wanted to collect badges back in the late 70s and early 80s - but I don't think my heart was really in it. LOl.

I had a little blue badge with a white dove on it that I wore for years. The peace symbol, I think.

Re: Badge Collection

You're right of course - I think they only had that one album, didn't they?

Re: Badge Collection

SpizzEnergi

The Scars album is called Author! Author! and ditto, hard to find other Scars fans

Loved them since '79 when the first single came out

Re: Badge Collection

I've got that Where's Captain Kirk? badge - it was Spizzenergi or Athletico Spizz 80 wasn't it?

You have a Scars badge! I have the album Fear of the Dark by the Scars and I've not found anyone else who remembers them!

Re: Badge Collection

Badge Collection

Indeed

I've had this selection since school days, and a little after, so nothing here should date after 1985
