Arms Akimbo
Last week, Little Hits posted a song from Arms Akimbo's first EP. It's pretty good. So here's the two songs from the band's 1983 7". The sides of the record are labeled 'pop' and 'dance'. See if you can guess which side the songs are from.
Arms Akimbo went on to release the pretty good EP and a not as good LP on Atlanta's 688 records. Both records are pretty common in used bins. If Arms Akimbo had only released the first 45, I'd be happy. It's the only thing I ever listen to by the band.

Hey, those links are dead now. Are the songs different than the ones on the EP? I posted the EP on Little Hits, will post here too:

Sound quality is so-so (cheap transfer from vinyl).
Those are from the 12".
The two I posted are from a 7". I'll repost if you want.
Yeah, that would be great if it's no trouble! Thanks.
Would both of you mind re-posting? I love this band, but I got rid of all my vinyl in a pre-move purge.
By the way, here are a couple of tracks I extracted from the video of an Arms Akimbo performance at the 1983 Piedmont Arts Festival:
