Unbelievable Name!
The Musical Janeens (And Other Party Games) with, wait for it an unbelievable song title....Glen Miller And His Contemporary Intimacies Meets The Janeens Uptown With A Packet Of Jellies And A Caribbean Monolith.....Unbelievable name but, hey!

Aardvark Records
Released on Aardvark Records on the compilation 'Bouquet Of Steel'. A collection of some of Sheffield's finest post punk acts of the day.
Aardvark Records was an independent label set up in Sheffield in the early 1980's releasing music by bands such as Comsat Angels and Artery.
Sell Out
Musical Janeens released one album called 'Sell Out' on the Plurex Record label in 1980, several tracks being recorded at The Paradiso in Amsterdam. The Plurex Record Label being set up by Wally Van Middendorp from Minny Pops and Sam Tijoe from the Dutch Punk Band called Tits.
Not necessarily from Sheffield, but...
Catch a bit more about them and other Sheffield post punk and indie music at Sheffield Tape Archive Bandcamp, evidently the band were originally called Ophuichus but changed it to Graph, they were originally from Peterborough and featured Nik Allday who would later become drummer with Cabaret Voltaire playing on the 1981 album 'Red Mecca' released on the Rough Trade Records Label. Sadly read he passed away only this year in March 2021.
