Hi, I'm new please don't hurt me...

I found the site trying to find a digital copy of True Blues by The Boothill Foot-tappers on the deceased Go Discs record label. Any ideas where I can get a digital copy?

The track is on a long mangled cassette that was the hit of a school coach trip taken 22 years ago.

I have recreated the first 12 tracks digitally and just need True Blues to complete it.

If anyone cares the compiliation tape was called Gang Tape and the track listing is as folows;

Sonny and Cher - I Got You Babe
Neil Diamond - Cherry Cherry
The Doors - Light My Fire
Petula Clark - Downtown
Velvet Underground - Here She Comes Now
Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties
Marine Girls - Lazy Ways
B-52's - 52 Girls
The Men They Couldn't Hang - Ironmasters
The Grass Roots - Let's Live For Today
The Smiths - Asleep
Japan - I Second That Emotion
Boothill Foot-tappers - True Blues

The cassette cover features Maggie Thatcher sitting on a park bench looking like a bag lady.

Thanks

Hopefully she'll be in one soon. Can't help you with your request though. I'm sure some kind ilxer will be along shortly to assist. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the welcome Tolstoy.

The True Blues track is listed in the following post from 2004.

Here's an unasked-for Rough Guide To Thatcherism: An Indie Response (only one track / three artists overlap but I claim them for indie and insist that Tom insert "Hippychick" or something...) I'm sure I've missed some blindingly obvious things.
1. Newtown Neurotics: Kick Out The Tories
2. The Redskins: Unionise!
3. McCarthy: The Procession of Popular Capitalism
4. Morrissey: Margaret On The Guillotine
5. Boothill Foot-Tappers: True Blues
6. Chumbawamba: Smash Clause 28!
7. Billy Bragg: There Is Power In A Union
8. Microdisney: Past
9. Another Sunny Day: You Should All Be Murdered
10. McCarthy: We Are All Bourgeois Now
11. Mekons: Fight The Cuts
12. The Enemy Within: Strike!
13. The Jasmine Minks: World’s No Place
14. The Men They Couldn’t Hang: Ironmasters
15. Scab Aid: Let It Be
16. Wolfhounds: Rent Act
17. Big Flame: Why Popstars Can’t Dance

11 of these 18 are by acts whose name starts with either M, B or J. this seems surprising to me.
