djonut bjotch had me beat by an hour with his '78 dealie, but there's no hatin'. I split mine up into a bunch of different CD-length folders, too, only I named the folders, so I win, obviously. I posted a list of tracks I'd be using on the "brace yourselves" thread, but a lot of 'em have changed, so ignore that.

One thing: I decided not to use "Lust For Life" because Royal Caribbean can eat my pete.

Only TWO songs overlap between ours, Nate. That's actually quite strange, to, like, astronomical proportions.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 17 November 2003 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

And I r jealous that your year had the FAR better Chic and Graham Central Station albums. ARRRRRRRRRRRR, TO THEE PLANK, MATEY!

(fucking kick ass job, nate. :) )

we have so gotta trade

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Monday, 17 November 2003 04:52 (twenty years ago) link

i'm workin' on the paper covers for mine (and plan to "blog" comments on every song on mine), so once I can get to that, I'm all about that.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 17 November 2003 05:16 (twenty years ago) link

haha, I'm two mp3 discs of research into 1980! I'm guessing it'll take another week or so.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 17 November 2003 06:20 (twenty years ago) link

Ohhhhhh damn. Well, in that case, don't forget BT Express' "Does It Feel Good".

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Monday, 17 November 2003 06:26 (twenty years ago) link

Matos: I found a couple o' 1980 Hip Hop singles for ya... lemme know if you need them

* Sequence "And You Know That" (Long and short versions) on Sugarhill
* She "Ms. DJ Rap it Up!"/Clappers Revue "Rap It Up Dubwise" split 12" on Clappers Music

(sorry to hijack your thread, nate)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 17 November 2003 07:01 (twenty years ago) link

Anyway, Nate, I had a good chunk of really goofy disco singles from 1977.. one of them being "The Dracula Disco". So, this is will be my Onyx gripe analog for you... GRRRRRIPE GRRRRRIPE.

two weeks pass...

awesome to the power of awesome

Awesome exponentially cubed?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Sunday, 7 December 2003 21:44 (twenty years ago) link

Anyhow, I finally gave this a cover

WOW.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 02:51 (twenty years ago) link

NO ENDOR FOR YOU

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 02:54 (twenty years ago) link

When I look at that, I think: God, why didn't someone already think of that before?

one month passes...

OK, so I found a used copy of Sweet's '77 LP Off the Record last night and was startled to discover that the version of "Midnight to Daylight" that appears on it is radically different than the one I included on this comp -- there's a guitar solo instead of the dub harmonica, and the entire track is more or less at a subtly different pace and pitch. What in blazes?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Sunday, 18 January 2004 02:02 (twenty years ago) link

One thing: I decided not to use "Lust For Life" because Royal Caribbean can eat my pete.
After hearing that commerical enough times, I have to give those people some small crumb of credit. I like how they spliced it. Right where it's supposed to say "liquor and drugs"...but I don't see why they can't use that phrase in the commercial. I mean, don't people drink on a cruise ship? And can't they find a little drugs to do if they're cruising in the caribbean? Huh?

That's very common with Sweet albums, especially between US and UK. UK Desolation Blvd. is practically a different record with US Desolation Blvd.. If songs are shared, they are different versions. "Fox On The Run" on the former is an earlier more raw version than the one we all know and love (on the US version and also on some weird issue of Give Us A Wink) US Desolation Blvd. is actually a bastardized version of Sweet Fanny Adams which, itself, is not really a proper album but a singles collection of sorts, which was UK only. Got it?

The Sweet catalog is almost as consistent as the Fall's catalog, if that's saying something.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

Well, just so long as the version I included on the comp was actually from 1977, I'm fine.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Sunday, 18 January 2004 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

How did you procure the version you originally used on the comp?

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:17 (twenty years ago) link

(Hopefully you didn't use some godawful live version from MUCH later when the band was called Andy Scott's Sweet or something like that)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:18 (twenty years ago) link

Also, Receiver Records, the label that is infamous for putting out a gazillion mediocre demo/live releases from the Fall have also done the same with (drum roll) Sweet. So, it's possible you have one of those version, in which case, it's 77 enough.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:20 (twenty years ago) link

holy god that's a helluva cover

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:25 (twenty years ago) link

heh heh, the best thing you can say about Sweet covers is that they were definitely of their time x 10.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago) link

I think Jess speaks of the CDR cover upthread! Which is indeed amazing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:33 (twenty years ago) link

Oh that. Well, fuck hell yeah that's a great cover.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago) link

How did you procure the version you originally used on the comp?

Filesharin'! (the musical)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Sunday, 18 January 2004 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

"Oh what release is this from! is it from THIS! is it from THAT! THIS or THAT, THIS or THAT, or when will this free ride ever EEEEEE-E-E-E-E-END..." < /sondheim>

Chances are you probably got a Receiver Records release version (i.e. some live or demo version), which is 77 enough.. don't sweat it. (Sadly my knowledge of different versions of Sweet songs to that degree ends around Give Us A Wink)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 20:17 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, Nate, you never bothered to ask if I HAD THE GODDAMN "Off the Record" CD that could mp3 for you...

(which I do)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 18 January 2004 20:20 (twenty years ago) link

Whoops. (Well, all things considered, assuming the version I have is a '77 demo or something, I prefer it to the LP version.)
