Ok,

Upload Roshell Anderson.

Clefs of Lavender hill is on it's way from the US.

Rock. That torrent works! I'm downloading! Thanks much.

Bob, if it's a problem for you to convert wma to mp3, I will happily do it and YSI the files once the torrent's downloaded.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 09:55 (twenty years ago)

― s2bdoo (s2bdoo), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 16:54 (twenty years ago)

Is part 3 not going right now either? Fuckin' hell.. I've been having some trouble with the firewall, but it *should* be working.. Everything says it's working....

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 17:17 (twenty years ago)

well im connected inso far as the red lights on but no peers no seeders try restarting the torrent that sometimes works if its just "stuck"

― s2bdoo (s2bdoo), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 17:51 (twenty years ago)

oh bugger i am dim didnt check the file somehow without it registering i seem to have all three files yeee fuckin haaar.so i dont know whats going on will continue to seed the big un any way.

― s2bdoo (s2bdoo), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 18:19 (twenty years ago)

yeah sasha caro is definitely coming. it shouldn't be too long but don't hold your breath. here are a few more of the missing tunes - clefs of lavender hill, the big three and ken colyer's jazzmen - the correct ep this time. thought i had better do those to keep you sweet, just in case keefus and patita decide to pay me a visit armed with baseball bats demanding the sasha caro record.

― matt hodge, Thursday, 19 January 2006 05:17 (twenty years ago)

many thanks, matt, for the latest missing tunes!!

― whatever (boglogger), Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:36 (twenty years ago)

we're pussycats really matt!
many many thanks for your contributions

― keefus (keefus), Thursday, 19 January 2006 09:11 (twenty years ago)

which was the a-side of the ken colyer ep?

― whatever (boglogger), Thursday, 19 January 2006 09:49 (twenty years ago)

yeah, matt--we prefer gentle nudging to assault!
Besides, we're inclined to think that you rock for bringing us some of the hardest to locate songs!

The Ken Colyer A side is If I Cease to Love/Bucket Got A Hole In It. Wildcat Blues / Wabash Blues is the B side.

― patita (patita), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

First off, thanks to R. Knewit for assembling this whole thread into a convenient torrent. And on that note, there's three of us johnny-come-lately's cooling our heels in a swarm, our faces longingly pressed up to the window looking in -- speaking on behalf of my fellow leechers, we'd love a seeder to return to the torrent. If anyone's still got it sitting on their hard drive... Thanks!

― B. Moon, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 01:41 (twenty years ago)

i am told that the new Napster service has a John Peel's Record Box playlist thing containing White Stripes, Nillson, Big Three, er, more things. nothing we don't have though.

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:08 (twenty years ago)

I'll reseed... I just shut down yesterday because it looked like no one had been on for awhile... Later today, it should start back up. ..

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 12:59 (twenty years ago)

For the new guys, I dont have the torrent but have all the files on Soulseek P2P program if you are familiar with that. Username is michstoecker

― Stoecker, Friday, 27 January 2006 01:40 (twenty years ago)

i've restarted the peeltorrent - the 1,2 & 3 one.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Friday, 27 January 2006 18:16 (twenty years ago)

hi, i just wanted to ask if i could take advantage of this great resource without the use of a torrent? i am on Mac OS 9 and have so far found no way to download them with any application for this OS. thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!

― maranth, Tuesday, 31 January 2006 07:50 (twenty years ago)

maranth, can you use yousendit.com?

― Stoecker, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 03:31 (twenty years ago)

The Yami Bolo B side appears to be a track called "Version", as listed here: http://infoman16.tripod.com/music/jprecbox.htm

Also saw another list (maybe it was the Record Collector list) that had Version listed as well.

― patita (patita), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:06 (twenty years ago)

somehow i have lost "bloody" by the golinski bros! i would be super-happy if somebody could post it up here.

xpost: patita, i wd imagine "version" to be a dub of the A-side; i.e. "[a-side] (version)"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:09 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, that makes a lot more sense than a song called "Version". YSI is giving me errors right now, but I can definitely send Bloody to you.

― patita (patita), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:19 (twenty years ago)

REPOST for Tracer Hand:
Bloody

― patita (patita), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

U RULE

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 6 February 2006 19:40 (twenty years ago)

What we need now to reach Peel heaven is for someone to re-torrent those complete Festive Fifty tracks ...

― Jon Dennis, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

amen to that, Jon Dennis!

(oh, and Sipho Bhengu)

― patita (patita), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:33 (twenty years ago)

Torrent seems dead, can someone please seed?

― Harpal (harpal), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 05:40 (twenty years ago)

(the 1,2,3 torrent)

― Harpal (harpal), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 05:43 (twenty years ago)

and more than that, no?? aren't we still missing basically everything is keefus' last post?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 06:05 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't mind a re-seed either. Please!

― Debord (Debord), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 07:50 (twenty years ago)

spent saturday going through all this stuff again and doing things like splitting the Meow tracks, turning the mono tracks into stereo (some programs have trouble burning mono mp3s) and downsampling all the 320kbps tracks (space reasons), taking the long pauses off the beginnings, stuff like that.

anyway, we could do with a better version of 129 Pretty Good Looking For A Girl as the one we have has dreadful compression artefacts (it's on De Stijl so shouldn't be too hard to replace). the aforementioned Meow single is very loud as well, distorts badly, but that's harder to replace.

that infoman link was interesting, especially the bit about the nilsson single being one rather than three.

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 09:37 (twenty years ago)

I'll reseed in about 8 hours...

― Dave will do (dave225.3), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:05 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like something off Life In The Undergrowth.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:21 (twenty years ago)

Teh White Stripes song is meant to sound like that. It's a different version to the one on De Stijl.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

I'm currently going through what I've downloaded, and trying to get a consistent numbering going.

There's a few I'm missing, but I'll wait till I get the full picture before I do anything about it. Although if anyone can post up Bill Oddie - On Ilkla Moor Baht'at that would be great.

Also, we've finished our Festive 50 project. The bloke who's been collecting them all is currently compiling them, which could take weeks or even months. Anyway, see here for a list of corrections we have had to make along the way from what were on the rocklist website:

Festive 50s

― Wobs (Wobs), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I don't have the Bill Oddie with me, but can post it in several hours when i get home (if no one else has posted by then).

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

the oddie coming up soon....

― whatever (boglogger), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Thanks very much for the re-seed. So what am I missing besides the ones posted above? (I've only downloaded the 1,2,3 torrent.)

― Harpal (harpal), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 22:41 (twenty years ago)

i found some bloke on soulseek a few weeks ago with covers and labels scans of quite a few of the box contents

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Thank you Whatever. I do like the two Oddie tracks. Kind of quirky.

There's a 3rd seed?! Think I might be a bit behind here. Hmmm. Back to working out what I need...........

― Wobs (Wobs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 09:54 (twenty years ago)

hey guys - can someone reseed the torrent again pretty please?

― jiltedgen, Friday, 10 February 2006 01:30 (twenty years ago)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 10 February 2006 17:43 (twenty years ago)
