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???

― 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

― DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Stan Meissner, Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:51 (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
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 ;-)

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Thursday, 3 November 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

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

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?

― King Of America (King Of America), Friday, 4 November 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I don't think it needs to be reseeded. Resubmitting it to the tracker would be in bad form since it's still got seeders. I've been seeding it for about an hour now. I'll keep it going as long as I can.

― Stan Meissner, Friday, 4 November 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

i posted that into the blue, cristian. thanks so much. just out of curiosity how many records and cds have you got in total (not only from the peel box, i mean)? or is that an indecent question?

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 4 November 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Alex, I would guess probably around 2500. I wish I could tell you that I have everything from Peel's box, but that's not true. For example, I've been looking for that Mighty Avengers single for years, at least since 1999, when it was featured in the Peelenium. Same goes for Geater Davis, Gene Dozier and others. Does anyone know if the Max Romeo B-side Revolution is the same thing as Revolution Dub from Lee Perry's Arkology box set?

― cristian ceia, Friday, 4 November 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

i had thought much more. that's funny, me too i have around 2,500 items in my music database. but hardly anything from peel's box. i obviously can't answer your question neither.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 4 November 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

a little eBay searching has turned up the DECCA 45 of the Mighty Avengers:

currently sitting at a pound, plus another pound for shipping. lots of collector places list it for 20 or so.

― patita (patita), Friday, 4 November 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

And the original Ken Colyer's Jazzmen 45:

apparently this was a free single one got by by sending away a special card insert from Marc--The Words

― patita (patita), Friday, 4 November 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Good work baitbait, I just bought the Marc Bolan & Ken Colyer's Jazzmen 45's so will upload as soon as I get them through the post.

- Don't anyone go finding them freely available now will you LOL :->

DomesticEmpire, you are a kind and good person!
-- patita (baitbai...), November 4th, 2005.

Yes, but you forgot modest.

Thankfully they were nice and cheap! Let's see how kind I am when you find something for more than a fiver! I hadn't thought of looking on ebay - good idea. I used to be a fanatical record collector though have slackened in recent years, but I feel the spirit inside me awaking. Now I just have a few days to sort out my old record player...

Is anyone here going to bid on 'Mighty Avengers - So Much In Love'? It'll be daft if we bid against one another and we need this b-side I think.

― DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Saturday, 5 November 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

Good job grabbing those, DomesticEmpire! I won't bid on that Mighty Avengers single, mainly because I want to avoid international shipping costs. Thanks for the pointer though, Patita. To make up for this, here's the promised Max Romeo B-side, credited on the Arkology box set to The Upsetters.

I might bid on the Mighty Avengers if no-one else does. I probably wouldn't go any higher than a couple of quid though.

Thanks to all for the amazing contributions. Don't have much to offer myself, but the identity of the 3 Nilsson b-sides..

Think it is "Gotta Get Up", for Without You--
"Turn Out the Light" for Kojak Columbo--
and either "Don't Leave Me" or "Rainmaker" for Everybody's Talkin' (multiple 7" releases).

I understand avoiding international shipping--it's why I didn't just grab the singles myself (additional cost plus the additional time it would take). I'm not sure that the tracks available on the Chris Barber site are the same versions as on the single.

The second torrent doesn't appear to be going yet--I've got it started in hopes that I could seed it, but I'm not sure it's working.

― patita (patita), Saturday, 5 November 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Yes patita I'm not certain about that myself as the site you found http://www.chrisbarber.net/epcovers/ep-page-home.htm specifies two e.p.'s that go by that same name;

Green cover (Tempo EXA31) (which I bought)
1. If I ever Cease To Love
2. Bucket Got A Hole In It
3. Wildcat Blues
4. Wabash Blues

Red cover (Tempo EXA 26)
1. Isle Of Capri
2. St. Phillip St. Breakdown
3. Shine (Begging for a mash-up with House Of Love!!!)
4. Gentofte Blues

The numbering suggests there could be dozens of the bloody things.

― DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Saturday, 5 November 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

The second torrent is working for me, finished and seeding. (This is the minimova one - mininova says there's no one on it, don't know why, but there is).

― JL, Sunday, 6 November 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

colinthom's 3 are bringing up ysi server errors for me. (seeded the 1st torrent since i got it -- am now switching over to the second)

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 6 November 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

also, where is the "minimova" as opposed to "mininova" torrent -- i have the same problem!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 6 November 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

I had no problems getting colinthom's files. Excellent contributions, by the way, thank you! This is the B-side of the Andy Capp record.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 6 November 2005 10:49 (twenty years ago)

Is one of us bidding on THE MIGHTY AVENGERS 45? eb*y bid has jumped from a quid to £9.50 with 2 hours to go. I'm not bothered by who gets this as long as one of us aquires it for the b side.

― DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Sunday, 6 November 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Yikes. I was going to have a go but I'm not paying that much! Oh well, I don't think it's that rare, it'll come up again. Price might have jumped from the inclusion in Peel's box though.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Sunday, 6 November 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Yes you could be right. I'm going to skip this one myself because I have some other sources that might hopefully yield some results.

― DomesticEmpire (johnpeeleveryday.blogspot.com), Sunday, 6 November 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

― Michael Ross (finvarra), Sunday, 6 November 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Michael, you could use yousendit.com --that's how most of the rest have been done. I'd advise smaller groups than all 15 at once, perhaps a .zip of 3-5 song (depending on their length). Folks sometimes have trouble with larger files via YSI.
