God bless The Vinyl Villain, say I. Not only is he a very nice bloke, and an inspiring blogger, but he keeps me intrigued by writing about Scottish bands that I might have missed.

One such band he has written about are Hey! Elastica. (And no, nothing to do with Justine Frischmann’s old band.) Hey! Elastica hailed from Edinburgh, in around the early 1980s. They do not have a Wikipedia page, and are not mentioned in the Great Indie Discography. Anyone who can point me to a fan site, myspace page etc.. would be much appreciated.

Inspired by what I had heard, i picked up the 7″ the other day in Avalanche, and present this vinyl rip for your pleasure.

Hey! Elastica -‘Suck A Little Honey.’ mp3

Hey! Elastica -‘Suck A Little More.’ mp3

And some bonuses, originally put up by the Vinyl Villain:

Hey! Elastica -‘Suck A Little Honey (extended).’ mp3

Hey! Elastica -‘Eat Your Heart Out.’ mp3

You can buy their stuff on iTunes, in the UK at least…Virgin still appear to own the copyright.

You can also listen to them on Deezer here
