Basking Sharks- Shark Island LP
A request fulfillment for my first of the year, folks… This is UK wave act Basking Shark’s full length record Shark Island, released in 1983. Upon second look, I am still unable to find information about this band aside from a scant discography, but if you want to hear more from them, check my previous post on the Diamond Age 7” here.

To purchase the band’s best of, Back in the Deep Water, according to a comment left in my last Basking Sharks post, feel free to email baskingsharksnet@hotmail.com for more info. Also, though it hasn’t launched yet, seems as if there will be an official web-hub coming soon at baskingsharks.net.

Iam trying to download this album I requested.But, I think Divshare is down, or so it seems. It will not start downlosding, and ,only, gives a ‘can not display page’ response. Hopefully this is only temporary.thnx..

dammit! divshare is all kinds of problematic lately. i just tried to download it myself and it says it timed out. i’m reuploading it now to see what happens. if this doesn’t work, i’m switching hosting sites.
to answer yesterday’s inquiry, click on “the funeral crashers” on my bio page on the main blog and it should take you to our site to hear some tracks. if you like this blog, you should find us enjoyable.
cheers!

Hey everyone. 🙂 I’m Lucy Todd (Adrian Todd’s daughter). You might all ready know this, but the official Basking Sharks site is now up: http://www.baskingsharks.net/ and there’s a shop where you can buy all the music and other merchandise. 😀 http://www.baskingsharks.net/buy.html
I know that my dad and the other band members would appreiciate it a lot more if you purchased their music rather than downloading it. 🙂
Bye xxx
