Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

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.

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

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

http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2UZQCZY7GEXME13USJWLWXNMHW

i woulda contributed if i had any music even resembling the right sorta stuff, but my collection just doesn't normally swing that way. much props and thanks though! i've been listening to the collection so far on my ipod all day.

Yami Bolo - Richer Than Corry (aka Richard Corry or Richard Khouri if you ask The Heptones)

http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=04YQ40K82KL0R0PIPBZ9RQ59L3

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

I think I made a torrent of all the files so far, except the Beatles tracks.
that's a good idea to leave the beatles out of this.

Paul Revere and the Raiders - Legend Of Paul Revere
The Upsetters - Yucky Skank
The Yardbirds - Psycho Daisies
http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2MZNC4RU14H1W3K5J18NM2M5CO

is that
'The Yardbirds - Psycho DIARIES'
or
'THE HENCHMEN – Psycho Daisies'?!!

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".

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

Mark, is there any chance you (or anybody) could re-up the White Stripes - 'lord send me an angel' track, missed it fist time round, thanksall

The Nice B side is: Azrial

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

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

sorry, missed the Alan Price set and Izzy Royal. Let me see if I can track them down as well.

White Stripes - 'lord send me an angel'

http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37JBX2EV6SHAV3426FL4SDMU88

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.

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"
http://s6.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2MTDTL6MGDKN712EON4PO5UJV2

So the White Stripes B-sides left are:
Stop Breaking Down (BBC Session) from Dead Leaves/Dirty Ground 7"
and
Pretty Good Looking (Trendy American Mix) from Lord, Send Me An Angel 7"

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).

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1Y94YNHBZH4UH29D0R7ZOVDZDN

Walk the Dog:
http://s59.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2GX28W9Y5HNCM0PAO5R2VG03IV

The Greenhornes-Shadow of Grief
http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3E581K92KNWHW1WVBOJI5HKHLW

La Peste-Black
http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2KNOSMDTXWUD10MWGMR2JBIJQ5

I grabbed the wrong file before for the La Peste A side (crap speakers mixed me up), so this one should be higher quality actually:
http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1H1FKOO1PM5ZV3LZQCEIZ5Q3IZ

Anti-Social - Traffic Lights

http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3A9L6FH0PGRTG031XYXS4LQWUI

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

...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.

the following white stripes is still missing completely, i guess:
125. The White Stripes - It takes two, baby + Fell in love with a girl
No, Alex: "It takes two" was the title of the multi-artist EP... see upthread.

We actually do have White Stripes - Candy Cane Children (see further up the page). If people aren't able to retrieve it, one of us could post it again.

Alright kids! The new torrent is up on Mininova at http://www.mininova.org/tor/145207

I called it version 0.1 since it's still incomplete. Howzabout we aim for v1.0 being the complete version?

Hooton 3 Car Danny

http://s53.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1S8XNCDWIGMY7210PTW5JT804A

the buzzcocks - just lust (like ever fallen in love from love bites, i hope these are identical to the singles versions).

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???

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.

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

Yup, the number is slightly different. The biggest differences are with respect to alphabetizing artists with "The" at the beginning of their name. Everything else (ideally) was more or less following the alphabetical order that the Times used.

Oh, and they had a counting error too.

Also, the list I compiled is by no means definitive. Feel free to change it in the next version. It just seemed to make sense to me. I ain't the boss of you.

the following white stripes is still missing completely, i guess:
125. The White Stripes - It takes two, baby + Fell in love with a girl
No, Alex: "It takes two" was the title of the multi-artist EP... see upthread.
yes i got that, mike. but where is fell in love with a girl in your latest list? not sure but i think that was the only white stripes song i ever loved. i am sure cristian has it. and if he hasn't he surely has those other undertones songs, n'est-ce pas, cristian? you have got everything from the list, you are just holding back and waiting for the others to contribute ;-)

OK, stan thanks for the info. I'm downloading & seeding the torrent now - there's 12 of us on it at present.

The Undertones - True Confessions (single version)/Smarter Than U/Emergency Cases
Eddie & Ernie - I'm Gonna Always Love You/Outcast/That's The Way It Is/We Try Harder
O.V.Wright - There Goes My Used To Be
Status Quo - Nightride
White Stripes - Stop Breaking Down (BBC Session)
White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl

http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HDF0BH0JAVMF3I0Q7DXLQU2PT

The torrent needs to be re-seeded. I have it completed, but I have very slow upspeed from my home DSL. There are only three other people on at the moment, but I can't feed them all; I will probably need to log off sometime soon. Can somebody who sits on a network please re-seed?
