> mark four - im leaving

i'll email you this.

By my reckoning, we have already accumulated 79.3% of all the tracks in The Box, and 88.5% of the A sides. When you include all the tracks that are in the mail, that becomes 86.1% of all tracks and 93.9% of A sides. Good going, you lot (and keep going too!)

― CT, Friday, 18 November 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

075 Flat Out is on the end of Get Flat btw. someone needs to split that into two files.

― koogs (koogs), Friday, 18 November 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Kevin - read upthread, nobody knows what the Bolo B-side is.

137C Blowtops - Sidewalk Santa

http://s29.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0QG8MEHBWVZ9W2KIQBLSGZ50UK

― CT, Friday, 18 November 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

A huge thanks to everyone who's shelling out money for these. My cajun comp set me back $20 -- and I'll I really wanted was one B-side! But hey, it's for a great cause. I hope it arrives - it looked like availability was uncertain. Thanks for the math, CT, the end is near.

REPOST

Kevin most of the songs you are missing are missing by all of us.

here is the

Johnny Fortune- Soul Surfer

― Matthew Walker (thatkid225), Friday, 18 November 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

I have decided to take on the more demanding project of trying to purchase the physical vinyl 45's in this collection. I have just bought the Mighty Avengers Single. If anyone has original vinyl 45's of songs on the list & you want to sell on or recover your outlay, please let me know. I start from the advantage of not having to shell out £350 for the Negatives single.

Easy Teeth - Her Blade (028B)

http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1YUFRYITN6QP33TOARQ7QYQWKT

(kevin, still looking forward to hearing the Easy Teeth A side, when you get it).

― CT, Saturday, 19 November 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

that's a hell of a track. i was expecting more of that kind of stuff in the box. thanks so much for posting it, colin.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Saturday, 19 November 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Bob - that's an ambitious project - good luck! How about starting with the singles we're missing here?

― TRG (TRG), Saturday, 19 November 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

If anyone points out where the missing tracks can be purchased, I will be happy to oblige. One rule is, they must be vinyl 45 & same rease country & label as JP held.

― Bob Robinson, Saturday, 19 November 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

I wish you the best of luck with your collection, Bob! I'll continue to look for the singles, especially where your collection and our interests overlap.

The Legion of Super-Heroes is available here for $10.50 plus hefty shipping (seller has less than perfect rating):
http://www.musicstack.com/item/2354474/legion+of+super/great+name+dropper
There's also a copy listed on GEMM, but the seller has an even lower feedback rating.

― patita (patita), Sunday, 20 November 2005 05:34 (twenty years ago)

I have tracked down a lo fi copy of the Upsetters Domino Game (at 24 kbs). It doesn't sound too bad (although it needs a bit of trimming at the end) - and somehow this kind of lo fi quality seems in the spirit of this project. It is humbly submitted as a "make do" until a better version comes along (I am currently on a wait list for a better version, but progress is painfully slow).

― CT, Sunday, 20 November 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

I have ordered Legion of Super Heroes from USA. May take time to arrive plus Mike Spenser if arrives before Kevs.

A number of the singles in the box where one side is listed are probably test pressings/acetates. The point is that "just Lust" Buzzcocks B side is not strictly in the box. There may be a couple of others like this. I would bet for example that Harry Nilsson gave John three one sided demo's, hence the personal connection that we believe underpins the box. This would apply to Alan Price, Status Quo etc

― Bob Robinson, Sunday, 20 November 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

Here's the spreadsheet updated -

I've ordered the two G L Crockett singles. Will let you know when they arrive.

Here is the better quality version of The Upsetters - Domino Game (118A)

i was let down on the arthur k adams single....grrrr...jane bond/squirrils/easy teeth/mike spenser are on the way....so close now

― kevin furr (kevfurr), Monday, 21 November 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Sorry to hear that, kevin. We'll keep looking! You've managed to get a lot of other very good things, though.

― patita (patita), Monday, 21 November 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

For Bob (or whoever), the Mel and Tim single can be found on Gemm for a reasonable price from a number of different sellers:

The Freshmen single is on ebay right now for $17 plus shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/FRESHMEN-uk-7-45-YOUVE-NEVER-HEARD-ANYTHING_W0QQitemZ4730639075QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Would be great to get a good rip from both sides--our version of side A could use an upgrade (but many thanks to mike for digitizing and sharing it).

I should be very happy to have that on a loop, so I could listen to
it again and again and again after the programme as I drive out to
the mountain vastnessess of Wallington" JP

I've located the Anemic Boyfriends B side and it's on the way (sometime after Thanksgiving).

― patita (patita), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

The first of simon's links is already down (for the Golinski Brothers)--anyone care to repost?

― patita (patita), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

― matthew hodge, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

i'll upload some of the other missing links when i get a moment. i should have done one for each day of advent thinking about it, so instead of a picture of santa chinning a large sherry you get a new tune.
could of done little jingles too, like:

"on the first day of christmas a stranger gave to me,
a track from surprise package three"

i am now officially a proper sad case! ho hum!

anyways, this lot will be coming to a website near you soon.

pocket fishrmen
ray martin
revelino
rod bernard
roshell anderson
ramrods

surprise package 3

― matthew hodge, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

Wow matthew, that's quite the early xmas haul! Thank you!

for the record, I think we've established that it's the other Ken Colyers Jazzmen, but that's coming by way of DomesticEmpire.

For Bob (or other vinyl collectors): I've located someone with the Anemic Boyfriends for sale--email me and I'll put you in touch.

― patita (patita), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

I haven't kept up.. I tried to figure out what I hadn't downloaded, and got lost when the list got really big.. But if anyone has the complete set (or complete up to a recent point) on slsk and will let me grab the whole lot - I'll do a torrent for everyone else...

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

can somebody repost matthew's link? it's already unavailable. with that stuff, i have everything that's been posted here. that knocks off a huge slice of what's missing, thank you matthew.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

that is i have everything that's been posted here AND it's on slsk.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

yes, a new YSI of matthew's link, pretty please?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

Alright, TRG.. I'm going to swipe it. And I'll post a torrent as soon as it all downloads..

Thanks!

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

(and thanks & admiration to everyone who's posted tracks throughout the thread.)

NOOOO!!!!!

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

uploaded this for a friend and figure others (foreigners mainly, and people who don't torrent) may also like to see it.

English people, it's repeated on More4, early Sunday morning.

― anon_andrews, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 09:34 (twenty years ago)

WAAH!

(stops crying, looks around to see if anyone's paying attention. Resumes)

WAAH!

Go on, someone repost that last big zip file.

And, big regards to the anon_andrews.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure that zip was ever available. The url says 'blocked' and the message on the page says 'The file has most likely exceeded its allotted bandwidth or has been removed by the original sender or a recipient.' What a tease!

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:11 (twenty years ago)

i'm having trouble playing:
126_Dead_Leaves.m4a

i swear it's played before and that winamp would display the file info correctly but now neither works. can someone check please. ta. (DRM trouble?)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:51 (twenty years ago)

The Jerry Byrd "memories of maria"/"invitation to love" 45 came in the post yesterday, but due to Thanksgiving travel, I won't be able to convert it until this weekend at earliest.

Put me down as yet another person who missed that last massive zip...
