And that's it for 2015! Happy New Year.



And that's it for 2015! Hopefully it will start with better news than we had these last days. We leave a special mention to Mr Rock'n'Roll itself, Lemmy, RIP, you will be missed and always remembered.

Have a Happy New Year and we'll see you back here in 2016.

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland WEA In-House Tape - 1987 (MP3)



Well. I don't really know the source of this one, but it was shared by manasha a long time ago, so my THANK YOU to him. These mixes are closer to the finished album than the previously shared Floodland Demos.

This was on the original TXT;

"I've had this tape sitting in a drawer since around 1990. It was just labelled as "Floodland demos", and the recording was accompanied by a loud whistle (this is caused by being copied using high-speed dubbing when there's a TV set close to the machine). I removed as much of the whistle as I could without affecting the quality of the recording, so now it's not noticeable except during the quiet bits like at the start and ends of some songs. This is obviously another in-house mixes tape, or something of that sort. The tracks are definitely different, for example the intro of Driven Like The Snow #1 is longer, and the mix of Lucretia sounds less busy than the finished version. Also, you can hear that some tracks seem to be off vinyl, so some of them are probably from acetates. "

01. Driven Like The Snow (#1)
02. Flood I (#1)
03. Flood II (#1)
04. Dominion--Mother Russia
05. 1959
06. Lucretia My Reflection

The Cramps - The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, USA - 31.12.1987 (DVD)








Thanks to the original uploader.

Original Info File:

This show professes to be an "official" release, but clearly is a bootleg. The reason I believe this is because I can find no other outlets or sources for this DVD other than the one responsible for putting it out. It is produced on a DVD-R. It is a single camera audience recording. The audio is off the camera, not off the board. There is no bar code on the cover art. There are chapter stops every five minutes rather than on the actual break between songs - rather amateurish. The web site that is selling this appears to be hokey and dubious. Some place called Vampiros Video Vault presents the release. TheHorrorDrunx.com seems to be the sole distributor. This is the only link I can find related to the release. http://thehorrordrunx.yuku.com/topic/1751 The DVD is advertised as The Fillmore Theater in San Francisco 1988 New Years Eve show. Actually, it was New Years Eve 1987, although technically the Cramps didn't come on stage until after midnight, which would make it New Years Day 1988, not New Years Eve. It appears this is someone's attempt to keep this from being shared so they can profit from it by claiming that it is official or whatever.

comments:
 Both these sets were posted once before in 2008, with paltry setlist and probably no samples.
 These are 2 of my earliest recordings of the B-52's in concert. They're a fun live band
and never better than in the late 70's and early 80's, so I've put together these 2 short
sets into one torrent, even though one is an FM and the other is an aud. The 79 is a complete
broadcast, don't know if it was a complete set. Probably was, since it was an opener set
for Talking Heads. I was going to seed both of those together since both of mine are very
nice sound quality, but a sbd of the Talking Heads show was seeded previously on dime
with exc. quality. I haven't seen the B-52's set posted yet, until this was first posted
in 2008 and it was a very good show, from a clean FM master cassette of the second re-broadcast
which was not hacked up like the 1st one with untimely abrupt commercial interruptions. This
is from the same FLAC files as the 1st post, only the titles have been changed now that the setlist
is complete for both these sets, and the sb's have been aligned.
thus the info. file, fpts and md5 are different, and also gone is the graphicly confusing
torrent title of "b527981". (Folks, do NOT try this at home.)
plenty of enthusiasm and energy in the 1979 set, probably one of the first times they had been
broadcasted in concert (this was recorded and broadcasted later, one of 2 shows, don't know which one).
I've filled out this disc with an incomplete 1st gen. aud from 1983 (previously listed as 1981,
apparently that was an incorrect date) that's also full of enthusiasm and a fresh performance.
I'm happy to hear more from them too, 84 or before, basically, is prime time for the B's if you ask me,
probably starting right around this time, which was around the time their 1st (yellow-covered "B-52's")
album came out. This one remains one of my favorites of theirs and you get some nice versions of those
songs and more in here. I think anyone who likes the B-52's will enjoy hearing this.
 The Boston tape is my master, the N.H. 81 is with thanks to fzmoi69 who supplied me a 1st gen.
cassette copy. It only has the 1st 7 songs of the show, but seven is better than none. this
whammy kiss is complete (unlike all too often in real life, if not before that point.)

From his youtube: "Like all of my live recordings this was mixed direct to 2-Track Reel To Reel using headphones. Sitting in the club with the loud P.A. sound trying to drive the amp in my mixing board loud enough to hear what I was mixing. If you've ever been to a live concert, then, you know how loud it can be. Mixed on a cheap Peavey MkII 12 channel mixing board to Technics RS-1500 2-Track Reel To Reel. Mixed & Produced by: Terry Hammer ; (p)1980 : Terry Hammer.

Gary Barrett (alfienoakes on Dime) RIP

Gary was a well-known figure in the Glasgow music scene, after working in A1 Sounds / Fopp and Avalanche Records for over 20 years. He also promoted a few shows in the mid 80s.
When minidisc technology emerged, he immediately set himself up for recording and began chronicling all the gigs he attended. This is a record of all the existing MD’s I found in his massive music collection, which his brother asked me to transfer on to hard drive.
Gary passed away suddenly from natural causes in Sept 2006, ironically just after he purchased his first HD recorder and only got to record 2 shows with (Green On Red at King Tut’s being the last one).
Big thanks to jamroom for taking over this project and the many dimebots who have helped him in this massive endeavour. This MD Project is a tribute to Gary's passion for live music and supporting local and small touring bands.

Gig Notes:

Gary never taped any support bands.


Recording notes and sound quality:

Added fades and boosted the volume by +8db. Please note that the was only one MD for this show and it cuts out midway through Top Nite Out and going by the setlist on setlist.fm, misses Vision Thing as well. I guess Gary ran out of disc or a lead came out.

Being the Barrowland, there's plenty of background chat and other noise. I'm guessing Gary was further back, probably at the soundboard, at the PA wasn't too loud and sounds just a little distant. Sounds decent enough though.

The Tempodrom clip was downloaded from Dime. I've authored it into this DVD without re-encoding the original vob file, although I had to chop 2 frames off the end to prevent it from crashing when the track reached the end. I've included the original info file that came with it.

Quality:
Tracks 1,4,5,8,9,10 are good/excellent.
Track 2: Colour is weird
Track 3: Some serious distortion in the picture in parts.
Track 6: Image isn't very sharp
Track 7: Nth generation, colour degraded to b&w

NOTES:
Track 2: They played the Vortex on 1977.07.15 and again on 1977.08.15 so it could be either of those two dates.

Track 3: The picture suffers from distortion in parts. It's watchable, and watching this is better than not seeing it at all! After authoring the DVD I discovered that most of the Don Letts movie is on youtube. If someone has a decent DVD copy get in touch!

Track 6: They dance around instead of lip-syncing to the song, perhaps in protest at not being allowed to play live!

Track 8: I originally thought this was from the Berlin Tempodrom gig until I saw the other clip, but when I compared them it isn't.  In the footage, Ari is wearing the dress that Neneh Cherry wears at the Tempodrom gig, and Neneh Cherry isn't present.  There are decent shots of the interior of the venue, maybe someone recognises it?  I'm thinking it's a European venue rather than a UK one.

Hope it's accurate, just wanted to get my cassette copy to FLAC  preservation purposes and share it.  Enjoy!

Tom Verlaine - Big Club, Torino, Italy - 08.04.1987 (Flac)




FM SBD, from master. First ever show in Italy. Many thanks to the original taper/uploader

This is a great quality recording, an FM broadcast soundboard....unfortunally the only problem is
the usual idiot, the italian dj, that speaks between every song and on the songs intro, saying song's
titles, line-up, and a lot of unnecesarry words....he never shut-up ! but beside that, the show
is awesome.

No Artwork

Audience recording, about 8/10 quality.

Lineage;
Unknown generation cassette (TDK AD90) > Yamaha KX393 (Dolby Off) > EWS MT88 soundcard > Wavelab (recording & splitting tracks only) > WAV > FLAC (frontend).

Notes;

This is on the other side of the Trafalgar Square tape - so again I can't remember for sure exactly when or where I got it, but it was within a few months of the gig, & is fairly high up the generation chain.

(I think it came from one of 2 regular tape sellers on Portobello Road - they didn't have a stall, just a bag of cassettes)

Again this is exactly as-is on my tape, with a snippet of Red Beat's single over the PA at the end.

Sorry, but I don't have any of the other bands sets that night.

Enjoy

The Slits - Acton White Hart, London, UK - 21.06.1978 (Flac)



Thanks to Egg_Crisis for letting post his rip here.

Original Info File:

Cassette (audience, unknown gen) > wav > Groove Mechanic (dehiss) > wav > Soundforge (slight eq to bring up the vocals a bit) > wav > CDWave (split tracks on sector boundaries) > wav > flac(6)

I received this cassette in a trade in 1991. Possibly not widely circulated?

After Typical Girls you can hear someone say "Look at that bloke behind you... he's got a microphone in his hand!"

As a bonus track I added the only song I have from their Screen On The Green gig (received in a trade probably around 1989/90). A free gig supporting the Sex Pistols. The person who recorded the Pistols recorded this one song by The Slits and then stopped the tape. Later his tape ran out before the Pistols had finished. This gig was only three weeks after their first ever gig, and is quite possibly the earliest recorded Slits material, and I just realised the 30th anniversary of the gig passed just a few days ago. Footage of the Pistols at Screen On The Green can be seen in The Punk Rock Movie. I wonder if Don Letts filmed any of The Slits that night.

Philippe Decouflé brings together musicians, singers, dancers and performers in a great celebration glam rock. Halfway between concert and performance, this creation event features the various facets of Bowie myth. Let's dance!

Seeming to come from a foreign language, even alien, the title of this creation - Wiebo - ad maliciously color: it is indeed cast a sidelong glance at Bowie, return it in all directions to better bring out the if its light shimmering universe and diffract to the public. The many facets of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" thus reflect brightly throughout an absolutely stunning transgender and resolutely show. Reporting to the concert as much as performance, an official ceremony as much as a clandestine cabaret, glam rock this big celebration runs through the work of Bowie songs in fifteen. Philippe Decouflé has surrounded for the occasion singers Sophie Hunger, Jehnny Beth (Savages) and Jeanne Added, of circus artists with whom he had worked at the Circus of the Sun, company dancers and performers atypical.

==================================================================

Today I have a BBC tape that might be new to a lot of you.

Here we have 3 bands for this BBC event.

Lene Lovich whose birth name is Lili-Marlene Premilovich was born in Detroit, moved to England at the age of 13. She first gained attention in 1979 with the release of her hit single "Lucky Number", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and made her a leading figure of the new wave music scene. She released two more albums, Flex (1979) and No Man's Land (1982), on Stiff Records. In 1989, she independently released the album 'March', before her 15-year hiatus. She focused more on her family but came back in 2005 with the release of her album.  Lene now at the age of 66 is touring again having recently toured Germany this year.

Wreckless Eric is best known for his 1977 single "(I'd Go The) Whole Wide World" on Stiff Records. He decided to leave Stiff and record music at his home studio. While Eric may have left the mainstream music business and the public eye, he has continued writing songs and performing consistently at underground clubs and bars. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s Eric has released albums on numerous independent record labels

Rachel Sweet began recording commercials at the age of six, toured with Mickey Rooney, and performed in Las Vegas as the opening act for Bill Cosby at the age of twelve. (No funny pills for her, thank goodness). She began recording country music in 1974, but with little success beyond one minor Country Chart hit. Switching to rock and roll, she signed to Stiff Records label and released her first album, 'Fool Around', in 1978. Her last album was in 1982.  She went on the do a variety of musical endeavors. In 1992 Sweet appeared in a minor role on a episode of Seinfeld, as George Costanza's cousin an "The Contest.", . Now at the age of 53 Rachel resides in Akron, Ohio.

Tape flip between tracks 9 and 10.  No music missing.

Since this is a few gens down the line, it's not perfect fidelity,  but it's complete and it might be something you'll enjoy.

Thanks to BR for the tape.
