Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1GIG421ATWOZW1EINOLF6NGT3Y

I like the idea that some of these (almost forgotten) recordings are now getting the love they deserve again, beyond the lifetime of their greatest patron. If Peelie had foreseen all of this I'm sure he would have treasured that record box even more.

It is a pity that some of these artists may never see payment for our pleasure, but with rare & unavailable items I think that spreading the word is more important.

I must admit I don't know shit about torrents, but this oughta work...

(pay no attention to the ID numbers on the mp3 files - most of them are incorrect.)

Anyone else able to download this torrent?

that's matt's recent satchel again

"Despite John's reputation for airing new music, those audiences who clutched him to their collective bosom in the late sixties and early seventies often reacted with depressing hostility and snobbishness whenever he played something other than rock. When John included for the first time in his Radio 1 show a Jamaican record, Andy Capp's "Pop A Top", and an African one, Sipho Bhengu's "Tickey Dopies", he wasn't prepared for such a negative reaction. He had, his core audience claimed, sold out. But to whom, exactly?"

The smaller ones from Patita and myself have survived, even now.

Mind you it's obvious the writer had no access to the box, as too many have "Unknown" next to label/details/value etc.

075 Get Flat / Flat Out

I have everything except for Matthew/Patita's recent entries. I will leave my Soulseek account on all day today, Thanksgiving Thursday. My user name is koufax.

Should warn that my numbering scheme is slightly different than yours. I have been using the spreadsheet rows from the spreadsheet above to number the files.

Bah! It totally doesn't work, for me at least. Mail me at [email protected] if you want some help w/the torrent thang.

If anyone else in this thread has managed to hop on this torrent successfully, please post now!

and (if possible), the documentary?
Thanks!

Are we still missing G L Crockett "Did you ever love somebody". The vinyl 45 arrived today. I will put Mp3 on my computer. How do I upload the song please!

Bob

You'll need some kind of music editing software--does anyone have a recommendation/suggestion?

It's mentioned in this excellent-looking guide, which gives a great lowdown on doing vinyl -> MP3 transfers. It may be worth paying for some of the other software, though.
http://www.br0wn.co.uk/vinyltocd.htm

..you can't go far wrong. - it's free (open source GNU), really easy to use and does the job well. It's cross-platform so works with pc, linux & mac. You need the lame encoder to be able to produce an mp3:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3

If you prefer I can email you everything you need which can be unzipped and ready to go - doesn't even require installation as it'll run straight from it's folder.

For ripping CD's I recommend Cdex for all the above reasons:

> How do I upload the song please!

bob, go to yousendit.com. enter details, upload the file, post the returned url here. easy.

and thanks.

can i request another version of Coronation Street - the one we have is just too crackly. i tried tidying it up this afternoon (using audacity) but it's just beyond hope. 8(

i would do soul seek but i have mac :(

pease? (spelled wrong on purpose)

(failing that, or for those people collecting the set, there's the 7" and 12" available here http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/index.htm (6 and 10 quid respectively, plus postage))

no sign of Revelino cd (081) i ordered and no reply to the grumpy email asking where it is. isn't the internet dreadful?

mp3 version of 126_Dead_Leaves (which did arrive safely this morning). replacement for the m4a version that i can't get to work anymore.

Incidentally, I'd love to know how you got mail from Izzy Royal - as far as I know he is not a real person, just a name used to front the band.

Speaking of unreal people, for those who remember a certain stuttering square headed virtual TV presenter, the Coronation Street single was featured on the Max Headroom show during the eighties...

Jimmy Fausto: it's a trackerless torrent, and as I understand it only the Azureus client supports that at the moment. Luckily, there's a version for OS X: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

You may also need to fiddle with your firewall settings to get it to connect successfully. Email me if you need help.

anyway, glad you got the other one to work .....

more precisely the 7" is here:
http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/prod01.htm and search for 'coronation street'. izzy said he had 'a couple' in his basement, so maybe he'd be willing to sell some on. i'll ask him if he replies to my last email.

> Incidentally, I'd love to know how you got mail from Izzy Royal - as far as I know he is not a real person, just a name used to front the band.

he just emailed me, probably as a result of seeing my post above about wanting a better recording of his single.

his exact words were "I'm going to get one in to a digital format soon and then let's see what we can do about a better quality sound." and that he's hoping for the label to re-release it.

Um, on my playthrough, I've just heared the Idle Race's "Here we go round the Lemon Tree", but I'm certain that's the exact same version as on my old MFP album "Fire Brigade" by the Move.

Are these not different?
