I think I made a torrent of all the files so far, except the Beatles tracks. The torrent can be downloaded at

http://rapidshare.de/files/7073420/peel.zip.torrent.html

― Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 02:59 (twenty years ago)

This got left out of the last message, but the torrent is for a really big .zip file (400+MB). It is also the first torrent I've ever created, so I can only hope it works. If it doesn't work let me know and I will try again.

― Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:01 (twenty years ago)

Did you make it with an encoder that allows trackerless torrents?

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

try http://www.blogtorrent.com/ ? I've never made one but that RapidShare one isn't happening right now.

― torrent's not working, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

It's been a couple years since I read ILM, but let me just say, you guys are amazing.

Did you make it with an encoder that allows trackerless torrents?

Sorry, but I have no idea.

It seems to be working, it is seeding 3 people right now, although rather slowly. To download the torrent from rapidshare you have to click the "free" link at the bottom of the page, then click the link "peel.zip.torrent". Hopefully it will speed up as more people get parts of it.

― Hunter Wilson, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Hugh, I've got a grab on that torrent right now. Hopefully, you can keep it going. I'll make sure to keep seeding it when I've got all of it. The more peers there are the faster it will go. Don't worry too much right now...seems to be working!

Incidentally, it's not necessary to make a torrent out of one big zip file...you can do whole directories too. Just FYI.

― Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:42 (twenty years ago)

Hugh...of course, I meant Hunter. :)

― Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Paul Blake & Blood Fire Posse - Get Flat (I believe that this file contains both sides of the single)

Of the 130 singles in the box (excluding duplicates), only 37 remain unrepresented. I'll do a list of ALL missing tracks later.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 10:48 (twenty years ago)

that's a good idea to leave the beatles out of this.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

here's some info that was missing for B sides and others:

2 Star Tabernacle's B side is: Lily White Mama & Jet Black Daddy (Andre Williams)
The Wildbunch/Electric Six's B side is 2. "Neurocameraman" 3. "She's Guatemala"
The "Ken Colyers Jazzmen" appears to be this: http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-003a.htm
Isle Of Capri, St Phillip St Breakdown, Shine, Gentofte Blues (reissued on CD as Ken Colyer's Jazzmen Vintage)

Here's the full track listing for the Electro Hippies Peel Session-- it's listed as a 12", but judging by the song lengths this would have fit on a 7":
A1 Sheep (1:20)
A2 Starve The City (To Feed The Poor) (0:45)
A3 Meltdown (1:20)
A4 Escape (0:55)
B1 Deadend (0:50)
B2 Thought (0:35)
B3 Chickens (0:30)
B4 Mother (1:40)
B5 Mega-Armageddon Death (0:01)

The Yami Bolo album with "Richer than Corry" is Ministry, but it was just released in 2005. Can't find any info on it as a 7".

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

The Greenhornes (no space according to http://www.greenhornes.com/gh.html) list the single as such: Shadow of Grief b/w Stayed Up Last Night

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

― shuffle, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

The Nice B side is: Azrial

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

I'll be back with it. Along with the 'missing' b-sides if I have them.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

this should be all of them except the Yami Bolo.
Revelino B side is: Memoreason
Rod Bernard's B side is: Pardon, Mr. Gordon
Status Quo B side is: Nightride

― Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

Alan Price Set B side is: Iechyd-Da
The Izzy Royal single should be credited to I-Royals, but I haven't found anywhere that says what the B side was.

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

More Stripes.

Rated X from Hotel Yorba 7"
http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2K9S0MVVFL4762QGWTPD27IQGU

Bowling Ball Ruth from The Big Three Killed My Baby 7"

So the White Stripes B-sides left are:

and
Pretty Good Looking (Trendy American Mix) from Lord, Send Me An Angel 7"

― flannelgraph, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

the following white stripes is still missing completely, i guess:

125. The White Stripes - It takes two, baby + Fell in love with a girl (apparently fell in love with a girl was on a promo as mike mentioned upthread)

Charlie Feathers - Deep Elm Blues has been uploaded already, mike (see here).

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

Pretty Good Looking (Trendy American Mix) from Lord, Send Me An Angel 7"

http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1UQBU5KHZ1C822HYZ3L6Y3R59J

I have the Cheeze 7" but am unable to transfer to pc at present (amp buggered!). Hopefully I shall get mate to help out when I visit him later this week and be able to upload both sides.

Also I've included a mock-up sleeve cover which I'll complete if it passes with everyone here.

Thanks to both the guys who emailed me at my blog about this thread - sorry I didn't get back to you but I've been busy.

BIG THANKS to everyone here - John would be pleased I think.

― johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

I have the Meow single - Neko Case's band from the mid-90's. I'll post it in the next 24 hours.

― everything, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

flannelgraph, I'd love an exported playlist for iTunes from what you've put together. I was trying to do some tag cleaning and organizing last night and it got messy very quickly.

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

I've retagged and renamed all the tunes from the torrent posted last night. Anybody object if I wait for a few more new tunes to roll in before reposting a new torrent?

― Stan Meissner, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Dirtbombs-My Last Christmas (gorgeous song, btw).

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

The Izzy Royal B-side is Coronation Dub, and here it is...

You should put the torrent up on torrentspy.com. So it gets more seeders/uploaders.

― brianed, Thursday, 3 November 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

...the question was directed more towards waiting for completeness. Although we've got a few more now.

I'll put it up in a bit then.

― Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

the following white stripes is still missing completely, i guess:

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Why is the torrent reading 457.15MB - my folder containing all the songs posted thus far come to way over 1GB?

I could seed this but they're not going to match - have I missed the point of how this works???

― HelenLewelynProduct19, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

all 141 tracks i downloaded or added have 470 mb. so the torrent seems to be more or less ok, the last two songs are missing.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I notice the numbering is different to the one at http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14932-1836864,00.html - which I know has some inaccuracies that have been picked up on but has there been an agreed list that we're sticking to? My My folder is way over 470mb too - I will check it of course but is it just me and helen who seem to be singing from a different song sheet. I've been following all the updates but maybe it's me, like I say I'll check all mine
